SheDecides works to ensure that young people have access to quality education and information about their health, bodies, sexuality and relationships, without stigma or shame.
14 Ministers from 10 countries plus 40 leading health & gender equality experts from across the world signed the joint SheDecides statement in support of Comprehensive Sexuality Education and its vital role in building a gender equal world for all.
Published in global media outlet Al Jazeera, the joint statement calls for governments to invest more in CSE as key to reaching global goals on gender equality and health.
SheDecides co-hosted a high-level roundtable on CSE in New York, ahead of the Transforming Education Summit. The event highlighted political leadership on CSE, with examples of progress and best practice from Rwanda, Argentina, Namibia, SheDecides Champions and young people.
SheDecides is part of the Global Partnership Forum on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (coordinated by UNESCO/UNFPA and WHO). The forum mobilises leaders and experts around political opportunities to speak out for CSE.
Government leaders, it’s time: speak out for the right to decide
