Specifically we look at comprehensive sexuality education as an important intervention in terms of the long-term prevention of early and forced marriage, but also in terms of ensuring that adolescent girls and young women have the information they need to carry out fertility decisions, to protect themselves from HIV, and so on.
The key in the global context is to ensure that we are moving from education around sexual and reproductive health to comprehensive sexuality education, and that this education be pursued comprehensively so that it deals not only with disease prevention and control but also with diverse sexuality, fundamental issues of gender equality, and human rights. These are interventions that seek to address pervasive gender norms within societies and to break them down. So as a long-term strategy to transform social and cultural norms relating to gender, it's an important investment.
