| Title | Protecting Childhood: Exploring Comprehensive Sexuality Education as a Tool to Combat Sexual Violence against Girls and Adolescent Women in Peru |
| Summary | This Capstone Project addresses the pressing issue of sexual violence against girls and adolescent women in Peru. By examining the associated risk factors, such as the lack of education and traditional gender roles, this study underscores the need for immediate attention and comprehensive action. The devastating consequences of sexual violence on children, both in the short and long term, require improved protection measures from the Peruvian State, particularly for young girls. Urgent and concrete steps must be taken to tackle this issue, including implementing strategies to prevent incidents, supporting victims, and creating a safer environment for all children in Peru. This study highlights Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) as a potential and effective approach to addressing sexual violence against children. CSE provides accurate information on sexuality, relationships, and consent, empowering children to make informed decisions regarding their bodies. Integrating CSE into the Peruvian education system is strongly recommended as a proactive step toward preventing sexual violence and promoting the sexual rights of children. By adopting these measures, a secure environment can be fostered for boys, girls, and adolescents, facilitating their overall well-being and development. |
