Zuzana Bendíková

Zuzana studied the European studies in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Denmark. After returning to Slovakia, she worked at IBM and collaborated with human rights organizations. Later, she joined Teach Next — a program for future leaders, which also involved a paid two-year full-time teaching practice. Her motivation was to actively engage in sexual pedagogy and gain teaching experience, as well as an understanding of the education system, so she could advocate for the implementation of relationship and sexual education in schools. Today she does so as the executive director of InTYMYta, previously known as the Slovak Family Planning Association. For her work, she was listed in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2023.
