Sex is not a Stigma, ( कलंक )
Sex education is education on issues relating to sexuality, including human sexual, reproduction, sexual activity, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, sexual abstinence, and birth control. Common avenues for sex education are parents or caregivers, formal school programs, and public health campaigns.
Traditionally, adolescents in many cultures were not given any
information on sexual matters, with discussion of these issues being
considered taboo.
Such instruction as was given was traditionally left to a child's
parents, and often this was put off until just before a child's marriage. however, led to the introduction of "social hygiene" in American school curricula and the advent of school-based sex education. Despite early inroads of school-based sex education, most of the
information on sexual matters in the mid-20th century was obtained
informally from friends and the media, and much of this information was
deficient or doubtful value, especially during the period following
puberty when curiosity of sexual matters was the most acute.
This deficiency became increasingly evident by the increasing incidence of teenage pregnancies, especially in Western countries after the 1960s. As part of each country's efforts to reduce such pregnancies, programs of sex education were instituted, initially over strong opposition from parent and religious groups.
The outbreak of AIDS has given a new sense of urgency to sex education. In many African countries, where AIDS is at epidemic levels, sex education is seen by most scientists as a vital public health strategy. Some international organizations consider that broad sex education programs have global benefits, such as controlling the risk of overpopulation and the advancement of women's rights.The use of mass media campaigns has sometimes resulted in high levels
of "awareness" coupled with essentially superficial knowledge of HIV
transmission.
