Abstract

The Zanzu website is a sexual education portal designed to inform migrants about sex. While the mission of promoting safe, healthy, and culturally sensitive relationships seems at first glance to serve the aims of cultural integration, the contentious status of migrants in Germany invites further examination into the motivations for the creation of the site. Through close readings of Zanzu’s material and content, this thesis argues that the site, while consistent with normative models of sexuality education in German educational environments, plays to the cultural suspicion of migrants borne out across media platforms.
