on incorrect assumptions about how men and
women behave (gender stereotypes). Gender
stereotypes often depict women “in the home,
performing domestic chores such as laundry or
cooking; as sex objects who exist primarily to
service men; as victims who can’t protect
themselves and are the natural recipient of
beating, harassment, sexual assault and
murder”. Men, on the other hand “associated
with machismo, independence, competition,
emotional detachment, aggression and
violence”.
Everyone has the right to decide who can touch
their body, where and in what way. “Body

Decision-making has consequences and this
can often be anticipated; therefore it is
important to choose with the best outcome in
mind. There are multiple influences on
decisions, including friends, culture, gender
role stereotypes, peers and the media.

Trusted adults can be a source of help for
decision-making.

physical maturity. Critical thinking needs to
be applied to forming sexual relationships.

problems
or disappointments.

 During puberty, the girl becomes
physically able to become pregnant and
a boy becomes physically able to father
a child. They are, however, not yet ready
to become parents and so they are
encouraged to abstain or delay in
engaging into sex until they are married
or ready for the responsibilities that
come with being a mother or a father.
 During puberty, privacy about one’s
body becomes more important.
Private space, including access to
toilets and water, becomes more
important as girls mature. For girls,
communicating to their peers, parents
and teachers about menstruation is
nothing to be ashamed of. Being
assertive about privacy is a way of
refusing harassment and unwanted
sexual attention.
