This paper theorises the ways in which non-binary gender is rendered invisible through binary Yes/No sexual consent education. Judith Butler's framework of gender intelligibility is drawn upon to consider the absenting of non-binary youth from consent education. We suggest that the undoing of the hegemonic colonial gender binary also be a project…

Little is known about the outcomes of in-school comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) programmes two or more years after programme completion, particularly in low-income countries. "Projet Jeune Leader," a youth-founded Malagasy organisation, conducted a retrospective, qualitative evaluation of a CSE programme in Madagascar. The…

Pornography consumption at a young age may pose a threat for sexual health, due to the presence of aggression and the degradation of women. Sexuality education is viewed as a way to mitigate the effects of inadequate information and counteract certain tendencies that may be learned from pornography. This study involved a systematic review of…

Silver, Rachel; Kendall, Nancy – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
In this article, we consider what would happen if the resources and energy devoted to formal, school-based sex education were redirected into a syndemic sex education approach that centres the individual, social, and structural conditions that shape adolescents' sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Drawing on a case study of youth in Malawi, we…

Orchard, Treena; Sangaraganesan, Doreen Mathura – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
Despite decades of research and education, sexual and gender-based violence remain distressingly prevalent on university and college campuses globally. The taboos associated with sex, gender inequity, and living in a patriarchal world where misogyny is glorified and criminalised are key socio-cultural determinants driving these forms of violence.…

McCall, Stephanie D. – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
Politically expedient approaches to difficult knowledge about sexual violence have included educational practices that create conditions for 'safe' spaces, such as announcing content in advance, trigger warnings and other pedagogical practices that make care allowable and smooth out the sharp edges of violence that can knowingly invoke trauma.…

Hackett, Chelsea; Boyd, Ellory; Osnes, Beth; Fahmy, Sarah; Simmons, NyaJoy – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
In this article, we propose that using student-centred pedagogical approaches and engaging in the possibly controversial practice of educator self-disclosure may engender spaces in which educators, researchers and students can engage with the pressing question of sexual violence prevention together and, in particular, how can we keep each other…

Assessment consisted of children naming selected external body parts in drawings of same-sex counterparts. Results indicated that almost all children knew the correct terms for their non-genital body parts, but few knew the correct…

Beres, Melanie – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2020
Sexual consent education is increasingly used as an educational tool for sexual violence prevention. Yet very little research exists on the effectiveness of consent education to reduce rates of sexual violence. Prior to understanding the effectiveness of any prevention programme, it is essential to understand the mechanisms through which the…

Riana S. Pella; Nicola A. McClung – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2024
Sexual assault is a pervasive problem that has devastating consequences for college students. California's legislation stipulates that public colleges and universities must define sexual misconduct and sexual consent as well as provide ongoing sexual assault prevention education on campus. Despite these efforts, little is known about how well…
