A leading organization advocating for women's and youth empowerment through sexual and reproductive health education is urging the Department of Education (DepEd) to fully implement Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in schools across the country. This move aims to equip students with essential knowledge and skills for informed decision-making about their health and well-being. By integrating CSE into the curriculum, DepEd can help promote healthy relationships, prevent teen pregnancy, and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). As a key component of education, CSE can empower young people to make informed choices about their reproductive health and rights.
