Sexual education 2010, para. 63

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Sexual education must be free of prejudices and stereotypes that could be used to justify discrimination and violence against any group; it must therefore include a gender perspective that encourages people to think critically about the world around them. Both the hidden curriculum and the omitted curriculum currently play a central role in perpetuating among children the inequalities associated with patriarchal models and drastically reduce children's potential for full development. Sexual education should encourage a rethinking of the stereotypical roles assigned to men and women so that real equality can be achieved.
