Alikhan Madibekov: Supporting Inclusive and Equitable Access to Sex Education
Alikhan: The pleasure is mine, Spiffy! Teenagers worldwide don't have much access to sexual education—schools hardly organize enough sessions to teach them, and educators lack engaging tools, which makes the lesson often awkward and dull. In Central Asia (and not only), people also can't talk about the stigmatized topic (“Shh, sex!”) openly, and that doesn't seem right. It increases the chances of getting STDs, STIs, and getting rights violated.
