Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) provides a full range of information, life skills and values to enable young people to make informed choices about their health and sexuality. It is rights-based, age appropriate and gender-sensitive education that covers six key concepts as per the international standard: (1) Relationships; (2) Values, attitudes and skills, (3) Culture, society and human rights; (4) Human development; (5) Sexual behavior; and (6) Sexual and reproductive health.
Good quality sexuality education, particularly education that integrates gender and human rights in a meaningful way, can lead to a decrease in unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections and does not encourage young people to initiate sexual activity earlier. Besides contributing to better sexual and reproductive health, CSE equips young people with communication, critical, analytic and negotiation skills that contribute to the strengthening of overall academic progress and empowers adolescent and young people to advocate for their own rights.
