As we join together to commemorate the International Day Against Racial Discrimination, it becomes increasingly apparent that we must address the lingering colonial legacies within the realm of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Despite our collective commitment to rooting out racism and discrimination in this sector, it's clear that our programs, research endeavors, and advocacy initiatives have not escaped the pervasive influence of colonialism.

The most recent national health survey carried out by the DHS program in Guinea has shown some severe issues which highlight young people’s need for good quality sexuality education. If neither school nor parents talk about sex education to young people and adolescents, the situation will be deplorable. They are an essential point of contact and if they are well informed, they will be able to facilitate this process.

It is a shame that many people misunderstand what Comprehensive Sexuality Education is and are totally oblivious to its benefits to us as families, societies, nations and continents. Some individuals and organizations even go the extra mile of petitioning governments to take CSE out of school curricula. To them my final and only word is that scary stories don’t save lives, Comprehensive Sexuality Education does.
