💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India emphasized the need to promote comprehensive sex education in India to reduce sexual crimes and improve sexual health outcomes. Misconceptions about sex education, such as it encouraging promiscuity or being a Western concept, are widespread and hinder effective implementation. Comprehensive sex education encompasses topics like consent, healthy relationships, and gender equality, and can delay the onset of sexual activity and reduce risky sexual behaviors.
