I love that question.
We know that 71% of university and college students have said they have experienced or witnessed gender-based violence and specifically sexual violence and intimate partner violence, which is devastating.
That says we're making a huge mistake when they're growing up in our high schools and our grade schools. We know there's not comprehensive sexual health education, which includes relationship education. People get really stuck on the sex part of it and forget that most of it is about relationships, consent, body autonomy, respecting your partner and caring for your partner.
This past week there was a TikTok trend that teenagers were making that had young men saying the ways they would kill their partners on dates. It was a trend that went viral. It was depressing to watch and heartbreaking.
When we don't have comprehensive sexual health education that includes healthy relationships—which we don't; it stops after grade 9 and you usually have to opt into it—we create this problem ourselves. We create violence that continues when we don't have real education for children and youth.
