Action Canada is convening leaders and sex-ed champions representing diverse sectors to take stock of the current state of sex-ed and chart a path of collective action to secure better access to it in Canada for the first time ever.
When sex-ed is done right, it can be life changing for people and have significant positive impacts on public health, STI rates, negative health outcomes, gender equality, instances of gender-based violence, including sexual violence, and bullying. All young people have a right to comprehensive sexuality education and sex-ed must become a national priority.
So, what comes next? This page will be updated with our next steps following the virtual convening in October 2020.
