Some of the topics J shared on this episode are how sexual health education promotes respect, consent, and communication within relationships, leading to healthier emotional connections and reduced instances of abuse or coercion. How sexual health education breaks stigmas and how openly about sexual health reduces stigma around topics like contraception, sexuality, gender identity, and sexually transmitted infections
J also shared that there is a move to push back on sexual health education and the challenges that means for todays youth.
