What is comprehensive sexuality education?
Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE ) is a curriculum-based
process of teaching and learning about the cognitive, emotional,
physical, and social aspects of sexuality. It aims to equip children and
young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will
empower them to: realize their health, well-being, and dignity;
develop respectful social and sexual relationships; consider how their
choices affect their own well-being and that of others; and
understand and ensure the protection of their rights throughout their
lives.
