‍‍Why does sex education matter?
Health and safety outcomes: Comprehensive sex education leads to healthier outcomes and safer choices among students. When sex education is inadequate and fails to include information about contraception and STI prevention, youth are less informed to make responsible choices.
‍
Delays sexual initiation and risk taking: Comprehensive sex education helps young people delay sexual initiation by providing accurate information and skills to make informed choices. Research shows that effective programs can help young people delay intercourse, reduce the frequency of intercourse, and reduce the number of partners they have.
‍
Contraceptive awareness: Proper sex education significantly impacts contraceptive knowledge and awareness, which is crucial for preventing unintended pregnancies and managing reproductive health risks.

Between 1991 and 2004, the U.S. teen birth rate fell significantly, with experts attributing decreased pregnancy rates to both increased contraceptive use and the delaying of sexual initiation - both principles taught in comprehensive sex education programs.

Empowers personal choice: Rather than prescribing specific behaviors, quality sex education equips people with knowledge and skills to make their own informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.

Emotional intelligence and self-awareness: Sex education helps people understand their relationship with themselves - their bodies, their values, and their boundaries. This self-awareness is essential for forming healthy relationships with others.

Building foundational relationship skills: Sex education teaches students the knowledge and skills they need to form healthy relationships that are based on mutual respect and affection, and are free from violence, coercion, and intimidation. This goes far beyond just sexual behavior - it's about understanding how to communicate effectively in all relationships.

Studies show that introducing sexual health education topics in primary school can decrease child sex abuse, dating, and interpersonal violence while increasing healthy relationships and appreciation of sexual diversity. Countries with comprehensive programs starting in primary school see significantly better outcomes.

Sex education in the U.S. is worse than it was 25 years ago.
‍While a majority of states require sex education to be taught in some capacity, as of 2020, fewer than half of high schools and only 20% of middle schools teach all essential sex education topics recommended by the CDC.

Half of all teens don't receive sex education that meets even basic federal minimums.

Today, sex education is inconsistent and outdated.
Conflicting standards across states: 30+ states mandate sex education, but with wildly different and often contradictory requirements that create a patchwork of inadequate coverage.
Obsolete materials: Schools are stuck using materials that are decades old or unwieldy 600-page textbooks that don't meet the needs of today's students or classrooms.
Undertrained educators: Teachers aren't given proper training to effectively deliver this specialized curriculum on top of their core subject responsibilities.

There is no accountability.
‍Despite state mandates, there are no systems in place to ensure that schools and districts are actually delivering the required content. Students are left without the education they're legally entitled to receive.

But the demand is clear.
‍93% of parents support sex ed in schools
70% say comprehensive sex ed is essential
93% want coverage of puberty, STIs, relationships, and contraception
