The Conference is an opportunity to publicize the research that has been carried out between 2019 and 2021 (interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic) on the situation of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in Aragon from the perspective of the Educational Community, by General Directorate of Public Health of Aragon in collaboration with the General Directorate of Planning and Equity.
The objective is know the perspective on the incorporation and approach of comprehensive sexuality education in educational centers in Aragon through experts, teachers from educational centers, parents from public and charter schools and public health professionals. Based on the conclusions, the purpose is to prepare a work proposal for comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for educational centers.
During childhood and adolescence, children and young people are exposed to sexually explicit materials. The Internet is flooded with data and quick advice that they consult as the first source of information to clear up their doubts, without taking into account that many of these contents are unfounded. . scientific and theoretical and this situation makes them vulnerable to abuse, unwanted pregnancy, STIs (sexually transmitted infections)…
Good quality sexual education would compensate for these circumstances through the provision of information adjusted to the truth that emphasizes values and emotional relationships. This should include structured opportunities that allow them to explore their values and attitudes, putting into practice essential decision-making skills and making informed choices about how to conduct their sexual life.
According to UNESCO, comprehensive sexuality education programs usually include several goals that reinforce each other:
- Enrich knowledge and understanding.
- Explain and clarify feelings, values and attitudes.
- Develop or strengthen skills.
- Promote and sustain behavior aimed at reducing risk.
All boys, girls and young people benefit from a gradual process of sexual education developed from the beginning of formal education. This process must include complete, scientifically correct, bias-free, and age-appropriate information. If it is not available, it is likely that the child or young person will receive contradictory and sometimes harmful messages from their peers, the media or other sources.
In the field of education it has great value as it is a link between the student, families, health services and the community.
Thus, from the General Directorate of Public Health and the General Directorate of Planning and Equity, we call for the Presentation day of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education report.
