You have the right to a standard of living adequate for good health and well-being. You have the right to access a high-quality education.
Everyone has the right to comprehensive, inclusive sex education based on the principles of consent and bodily autonomy. Access to good sex education is crucial for making healthy and informed decisions, practicing consent, reducing stigma around sexual health issues, and protecting one’s health. Sexual health education should be age-appropriate and delivered without shame.
Here are 3 actions you can take to step up for Comprehensive Sex Education:
- Use the SIECUS state map to look up the sex education laws in your state.
- Get educated and spread the word with fun, animated videos from our friends at Amaze.
- Learn more about boundaries and consent or one of the other SASH Club Power Topics.
