Comprehensive sexuality education is defined as “a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about the cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality”. [i] The International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education explains that “comprehensive” refers to the breadth of core elements in the curriculum that equip young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes and values for positive sexuality and good sexual and reproductive health; to develop respectful social and sexual relationships; to consider how their choices affect their own wellbeing and that of others, and to understand and ensure the protection of their rights throughout their lives.[ii] The provision and reception of comprehensive sexuality education is legally protected under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and article 19 of the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights.
