Sex Education for 10 Year Old Kids ?
Religious and conservative groups have condemned a report which has advocated that children as young as 10 be given extensive sex education.
"Stand and Deliver," a new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation, advocated that children 10 and older be given a "comprehensive sexuality education" by governments, aid organizations and other groups, including awareness about sexual pleasures.
Bert Koenders, the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation, wrote: "Young people have the right to be informed about sexuality and to have access to contraceptives and other services."
The report further said that sex education should be "recast" to show sexuality as a "positive force for change and development, as a source of pleasure, an embodiment of human rights and an expression of self", reports Fox News.
The paper also argued that religious groups, specifically Catholics and Muslims, kept their young from accessing comprehensive sexual programs and education.
It stated: "Young people's sexuality is still contentious for many religious institutions. Fundamentalist and other religious groups - the Catholic Church and madrasas (Islamic Schools) for example - have imposed tremendous barriers that prevent young people, particularly, from obtaining information and services related to sex and reproduction. Currently, many religious teachings deny the pleasurable and positive aspects of sex."
