sex Education:
Sex education is the process of educating people about relationships, intimacy. It helps people protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, abortions etc.
It mainly focuses on
- Relationships
- Unwanted pregnancies
- Reproduction
Why sex education?
- People are educated about different STD’s, AIDS etc.
- Lack of sex education results in unnecessary abortions.
- People are not aware of contraceptive pills, condoms and other means to avoid pregnancy. This also results in harm to reproductive organs.
- Sex education is not just about teaching about sex. It’s about teaching how reproductive organs are built, stages that a boy and girl go through, relationships etc.
When and who should educate?
- For some people, sex education is still not necessary as it hurts their religious sentiments.
- Ideally sex education should start from onset of puberty.
- Sex education should not just be in schools. It should start from home as well. Parents should not feel conscience about discussing queries raised.
- Special care should be taken that the education and teaching should not sound vulgar.
