Sexual expressions and relationships can be joyous and fulfilling, but they can also be emotionally cripling. Sex, even when it seems to be a positive experience, can lead to abuse and diseases - for both boys and girls. Being aware of our sexual health and rights is a step towards discovering our sexual self, and protecting ourselves from physical and emotional harm.

Sexual abuse includes being touched in ways that make us uncomfortable, innuendoes (verbal and non-verbal), as well as more "serious" violations such as rape.
