The 55th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) of the United Nations will be held in New York City from February 22th to March 4th. This year the CSW will focus on Equal Access of Women and Girls to education. As youth SRHR activists, we believe that quality education includes comprehensive sexuality education, which should always be taken into account when educational curriculums are developed (for in and out-of school audiences, in formal and informal educational settings).
With the purpose of raising policy and decision makers' awareness on that, and to ensure they fully understand the benefits of CSE on the social, mental and physical development of adolescents and young people the YC will prepare for the upcoming CSW an edition of its Watchdog.
The Watchdog is a newsletter distributed by the YC at most international conferences and events we attend, as part of our advocacy and public education activities.
The YC would like to invite you to write an article on topics related to Comprehensive Sexuality Education to be included in our 55th CSW edition of the Watchdog. Articles are welcome in any widely spoken language (not necessarily UN language) and should not exceed 1 page.
you can send your articles to: mariaines@youthcoalition.org by Wednesday February 16th.
