Sexual education 2010, para. 22

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur wishes to make it clear that gender issues are not exclusively women's issues but also involve men, who can benefit from less rigid roles and more egalitarian relationships. When the Special Rapporteur refers to the need to mainstream gender into the programming and curriculum design of sexual education, the idea is that men's issues should also be explicitly included. This is crucial in order to ensure the cultural shift that human rights require our societies to make, since the goal of education for sexuality is also to construct affects and develop a transforming role for men by going beyond the strictly genital and physical aspect.
