Sexual violence is any act or conduct committed without the consent of another person that violates human dignity and may cause psychological and/or physical harm, including adverse effects on a person's reproductive health.
Providing students with appropriate education regarding sex education is essential to increase their understanding of personal boundaries, bodily autonomy, and appropriate behavior. Such education helps children recognize what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable, promotes awareness and vigilance, and enhances their understanding of the functions of the human body.
Through legal education and preventive awareness programs, sex education serves as an important instrument in preventing sexual violence. It equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves, recognize potential risks, and reduce their vulnerability to sexual abuse.
