Overview
Présentation
Young people’s emotional, relational and sexual lives unfold in all the places they frequent.
First of all, in their families, then at school and finally in all third places (sports clubs, holiday camps, etc.). In France, sex education was made compulsory in schools in 2001, with three sessions a year throughout the student’s school career. But all the surveys, starting with the 2021 report by the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research, show that this obligation is not respected. And yet young people want this education. Trying to ‘protect’ them from it, particularly at school, often means leaving them alone with their questions, knowing, for example, that they will be exposed to pornographic images on a mobile phone before the age of 10. It’s vital to support them.
