Thank you very much for that interesting question.
I think Canada can extend the scope of what essential health and reproductive rights are. You can do that by enlarging the concept, the framing at the edges of what planned sexuality means. At some point, what can be done, what can be included in your study or policies, is indicators. I think we can create indicators. Canada is a country that, as you mentioned, has given a lot to development in other countries.
Some indicators can be appointed to evaluate the emotional, social and cultural contexts where the child, teenager or adult faces decisions about sexuality. They can analyze the experience of trauma, violence, disassociation and unhealthy attachments and the relationship with sexual and reproductive decisions. They can support research and unfold the criteria that young people are using to make decisions about sexuality, which may include indicators related to affectivity and emotional well-being. They could analyze whether the services and programs that countries offer are related to integral services of health and development.
I think if Canada proposed to extend the scope to a better vision of sexuality, an integral vision of sexuality, it could do a lot for countries like mine, which are facing a lot of machismo and the wounds in femininity and masculinity at a structural level.
Thank you very much.
