Violence is happening against women & girls, in our societies, in homes.

If we do not speak out against it, it may trickle down to schools too.

#Education has the power to break that cycle.

Bullying is a form of violence at school and too many learners experience it each month.

While girls experience it as much as boys, there are types of bullying based on gender.

Happy five year anniversary of pointing out that men cause pregnancy and could easily prevent abortion by ejaculating responsibly (but they choose not to) to all who celebrate.

FACT: Young people NEED high quality sexuality education as they grow up.

It prepares them for physical and emotional changes - including puberty - and to make responsible choices around their sexual activity and health.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: Sexuality education helps prevent child sexual abuse.

By providing children and young people with adequate knowledge about their rights, and what is and is not acceptable behaviour, sexuality education improves children’s and young people’s ability to:
✋🏼 Recognize abuse
✋🏼 Stop abuse
✋🏼 Find help if they need it

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: Comprehensive sexuality education does not promote masturbation.

In our documents, WHO recognizes that children start to explore their bodies through sight and touch at a relatively early age. ➡️ This is an observation, not a recommendation.

The UN’s guidance on sexuality education provides countries, practitioners and families with accurate information on children’s stages of development -and what to expect- so that they can better tailor learning to meet their needs.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: Children and adolescents have the right to be educated about themselves and the world around them in an age- and developmentally-appropriate manner.

Not allowing children to learn about their rights, their bodies and emotions is detrimental to their health, safety and well-being.
https://t.co/FIMGdYwkx4

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: Talking about sexuality does not necessarily mean talking about having sex.

For younger age-groups, sexuality education helps children:
💟 Learn about their bodies
💟 Recognize their feelings and emotions
💟 Identify different types of relationships, such as families & friends
💟 Treat people as equals, with respect
💟 Recognize inappropriate behaviours and know what to do if facing violence, bullying or abuse
https://t.co/FIMGdYwkx4

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: Comprehensive sexuality education is associated with later sexual activity and reduced risk-taking.

Evidence shows that young people are more likely to delay having sex – and if they do have sex, practice safer sex - when they are better informed about sexual health and rights.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Comprehensive sexuality education delivers positive health outcomes for life.
It supports:
👍 positive attitudes
👍 responsible choices
👍 healthier relationships
👍 better self-esteem

Studies worldwide have shown that it protects the health of young people. It also helps ensure they know what to do if there is risk of violence, bullying or abuse. https://t.co/FIMGdYwkx4
