Key to Better Sex Ed: Focus on Gender & Power

Caption

Sexuality and HIV education programs addressing gender equality and power dynamics in relationships are five times more likely to reduce sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies than programs that do not. Fully 80 percent of programs that address gender or power significantly lowered STIs or unintended pregnancy. In contrast, among the programs that did not, only 17 percent did so.
