| Title | The Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse Through Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Exploring Potentials from a Human Rights Perspective |
| Summary | Child sexual abuse is a global problem and an object of deep concern within human rights. Its prevention through education programs is a topic that has been explored since the 1980s. Studies on the benefits of comprehensive sexuality education for preventing child sexual abuse gained strength from the 1990s onwards. More than teaching about the biological aspects of human sexuality, comprehensive sexuality education aims to educate young people on a healthy and ethical relationship with their sexuality and towards the sexuality of others. This research presents an overview of studies on child sexual abuse prevention through comprehensive sexual education, from the perspective of human rights. It concludes that there is a need to implement mandatory comprehensive programs for the prevention of child sexual abuse, a need that is fully supported by the main human rights instruments related to the topic. |
