Make sex education compulsory in schools

Teaching them young It may be difficult to put a total stop to incidents of rape immediately. But it is certainly possible to educate people on how to counter sexual harassment and domestic violence. Education is an important tool that can help to work towards eradicating this evil.

The fact is that many of us are scared to raise our voices against sexual harassment because of what people will think about us. And perverts take advantage of this. We must start to change this, through education in our schools. The government mustintroduce sex education in the school curriculum and all political parties should support such an initiative.

We are attracted to many things in the West, and imitate quite a few things that are foreign. In the US, sex education is today an integral part of the school syllabus. Most states have this as a subject and the content is updated every year. The importance given to the programme is such that officials of the Minnesota Public School are continuously working on improving the way in which this subject is dealt with in schools.
