Recommendation 19
19
Paragraph: 74
Embed comprehensive age-appropriate sex education into FCDO ODA-funded education programmes.
Recommendation
Access to SRHR services and comprehensive sex education is vital to adolescents; however, adolescents may often face barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services. Ensuring that women and girls are fully educated on sexual and reproductive health can empower them and give them the autonomy to make informed decisions in life. Better education among women and girls is also linked to better sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Considering the UK’s commitment to girls’ education, the FCDO should embed comprehensive age-appropriate sex education into its ODA-funded education programmes.
