Image of grey background with text that says, "Sex Stats: A Quick Look at Sex Education in America - 40% of sexually active teen girls age 14 - 19 have at least one STD; 47% of teen girls are more likely to receive instruction on birth control methods; Waiting to have children until marriage decreases the likelihood that both parent & child will live in poverty; Half of students in grades 7-12 report wanting more information on HIV/AIDS & other STIs testing; 89% teen births are to unmarried couples; 39 states + the districts of Columbia require students to receive instructions about HIV; 29 states are required to teach sex education in public schools." A lot falls under the umbrella of sex education. Not only does it include education about infections, illnesses, and our anatomy, but it includes gender and sexual preference, and family planning.

Our cultures, religions, values, and beliefs shape how we learn about sex, relationships, and our bodies. Regardless of where or how we are raised, understanding how our bodies physically, mentally, and emotionally work is critical for our health and safety, particularly for women and girls.

Today, we talk about how comprehensive sex education can be used as a tool for sustaining equity and forming healthy relationships with those around us.
