Teenagers and young adults are naturally curious about the physical and psychological
changes in themselves and in others. But societal norms and pressures make them
embarrassed to talk about sex, relationships, and even their own bodies. The
influence of ill-informed friends and irresponsible literature only leads to
inaccurate and incomplete learning.
Comprehensive and reliable information about sex is essential for responsible
behaviour.
Being aware of our sexuality and learning to talk about it empowers
us to express our sexual self in ways that are right for us, and protects us
from violence and coercion by others.
