Just Say No – To Sex Education

Mil gracias to Las Culturas Blog for pointing out an article showing the state of the lack of sexual education in Latin America.
An informal survey by IPS correspondents in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela shows that sex education is patchy or nonexistent in the region, with the exception of Cuba.
The article points to legal guidelines which call for sexual education programs in Latin American countries as a way to help prevent childhood sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. But most of the programs are not being run, sometimes because of resistance from the church.
