MMS Workshop: Comprehensive Sexuality Education
Sep 28, 2017 | Bern, Swiss Red Cross, Rainmattstrasse 10
Let’s dig deep into this topic together with Dr Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli (WHO)
MMS - Sexual and reproductive ill-health is a major contribution to the burden of disease among young people. The right of access to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is grounded in fundamental human rights. The objective of CSE is to ensure that young people can build their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to responsibly enjoy their sexuality – physically and emotionally, individually and in relationships. It empowers young people to protect their health, well-being and dignity.
There is clear evidence that CSE has a positive impact on sexual and reproductive health (SRH), notably contributing towards reducing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV and unintended pregnancy.
