The question of whether sex education is a human right is a complex one, debated by legal scholars, educators, and policymakers alike. Proponents argue that access to comprehensive sex education is essential for individuals to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies, and experience healthy relationships. International human rights law recognizes the rights to health, education, and non-discrimination, which some interpret as encompassing the right to sex education. Opponents raise concerns about parental rights, religious beliefs, and the content being taught. Ultimately, the debate centers on balancing individual rights with societal values.
