Category: Capacity Building

Focus area: Comprehensive Sexuality Education

Sustainable Development Goals addressed: GOAL 4: QUALITY EDUCATION

General description:

In Slovakia, Comprehensive sexuality education is not included in primary, nor secondary schools’ curricula. SloMSA Slovakia has decided to address this issue, by creating it’s own pool of CSE facilitators. And thus came the need for an event, which would contain various workshops about SRHR. The aim of these workshops was to equip participants with adequate soft skills, attitudes and knowledge, so they could deliver the best possible CSE at schools.

Problem statement:

CSE is not a part of the curriculum in Slovakia.
The local data:
1 in 10 women has been a victim of sexual violence. Only 15% of victims reported to have sought help.
12% of children reported to have watched porn at the age of 6. Most commonly, the first contact with porn is at the age of 11-14.
58,9% of people from LGBT+ community have been a victim of abuse (verbal, non-verbal).
SloMSA has decided to contribute to the prevention of such phenomena, by delivering high-quality CSE to schools.

Target groups:

Medical students
