Essential “for the welfare of students”
“Sex education is a global, positive and benevolent approach that aims to promote responsible behavior, build a culture of equality and mutual respect between women and men, fight against sexual and sexist violence, LGBTphobia”, explains to BFMTV the Isabella’s cabinet. Rome.
“The correct implementation of sex education is essential for the well-being of students,” continues the same source.
