Putting Sexuality back into Comprehensive Sexuality Education: making the case for a rights-based, sex-positive approach
IPPF took initiative to develop this discussion paper after advocates and programmes identified a pattern whereby sexuality was becoming marginalised within, or entirely excluded from, CSE programmes and advocacy efforts. We believe that sexuality education programmes are worth investment and implementation because they empower, build self-esteem, competence and confidence and lead to better health and well-being for the individual young people they reach. This publication is complemented by Putting Sexuality back into Comprehensive Sexuality Education: tips for delivering sex-positive workshops for young people.

Fulfil! Guidance document for the implementation of young people's sexual rights (IPPF-WAS)
Translating the sexual rights of young people into practice not only involves raising awareness among young people for them to claim their rights, but working with duty bearers, such as health providers, educators and policy makers for them to fulfil these rights in law and in services. As adolescence is a time of gradually gaining responsibilities, implementing the rights of adolescents specifically involves a dynamic process of striking a balance between protecting them while respecting their autonomy and promoting their empowerment. With this in mind, IPPF and the World Association for Sexual Health developed Fufil!. This guide addresses the critical opportunities to implement young people’s sexual rights in a global context and provides specific guidance for policy makers, health providers and educators.
