    SEX EDUCATION

    Prepared by : SRISTIKA SHARMA

    Counselling theory and practice
    Introduction
    Sex education is the provision of knowledge about body development, sex, sexuality, and relationships, as well as skill development, to assist
    young people in communicating about sex and making educated decisions about their sexual health (Bridges, 2014). Sex education should take
    place across a student’s grade levels, in student’s developmental stage and cultural context. It should include puberty and reproduction,
    abstinence, contraception and condoms, relationships, sexual assault prevention, body image, gender identity, and sexual orientation, among other
    topics (Bridges, 2014).

    Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is critical in preparing young people for a safe, successful, and satisfying life in a world where HIV/
    AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unwanted pregnancies, gender-based violence (GBV), and gender inequality continue to pose
    significant threats to their well-being (UNFPA, 2018). Sex education also provides people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation they need to
    make informed decisions about their sex and sexuality. Many young people enter adulthood with contradicting, negative, and confusing messages
    about sexuality, which are sometimes worsened by adults’ embarrassment and silence, including parents and instructors (UNFPA, 2018).

    The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes an adolescent as any individual between ages 10 and 19, and youth as the 15-24 age group.

    Definition
    • UNESCO defines Comprehensive Sexuality Education as “a curriculum with a process to teach and learn about the cognitive, emotional,
    physical, and social aspects of sexuality.”

    • SEX refers to the biological characteristics that lead to them being assigned either 'male' or 'female'.
    • SEXUALITY refers to a person's capacity for sexual feelings. Note that this is different from sexual orientation, which references
    the gender(s) to which someone is sexually attracted (such as homosexual or bisexual).

    Types of sex education:

    1. Abstinence only sex education


    2. Abstinence Plus Sex Education
    3. Comprehensive Sex Education
    Three areas of providing sexual education in india
    • Adolescents in school

    • Family planning in adults

    • Education of preventive measures HIV/AIDS


    Need and importance of sex education

    • Teenagers need to know safer options

    • Teenagers have better understanding values and autonomy over their bodies

    • Sex education instills in young mind to be more respectful towards each other

    • Raises awareness on Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    • Awareness of various myths

    • Abuse of children

    • Good touch and bad touch


    Conclusion
    Sexual education is still one of the major concerns in some nations across the world. Some are willing to accept the change and
    some aren’t. We need to accept the fact that sexual education is a must to achieve a healthy lifestyle without any diseases, it
    doesn’t matter if it’s India or USA, sex education should be compulsory in schools and universities to educate youth about
    healthy and hygienic well-being. Sexual education is not promoting to have sex, it is to educate people about healthy and safe sex.
