Doubling Down on Anti-Racism Efforts in Sexual and Reproductive Health: A Call to Action

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.

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.
