Policies for Sexuality Education in the European Union

15 Jan 2013

Sexuality education is a critical area of education and social policy. According to the definition issued by the Safe Project (IPPF European Network) in 2007, sexuality education aims at "disseminating general and technical information, facts and issues which create awareness and provide young people with the essential knowledge and training in communication and decision making skills they need to determine and enjoy sexuality both physically and emotionally, individually as well as in relationships"1. It provides information to children, teenagers and young adults about sexuality and its possible negative consequences.
