Gender Equity in Formal Sexuality Education
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter examines gender and gender equity issues in formal sexuality education and considers the adequacy of formal programs from several vantage points. I begin with definitions of terms that are central to the analysis. Next, attention turns to the current state of sexuality education. I will, in turn, consider formal education in K–12 schools, colleges and universities, and medical schools; the reader will note that there is more material available regarding the first than about the second or third. With this survey as background, I will discuss several gender equity issues; this section will include discussion of programs designed to address these issues. The chapter ends with conclusions and recommendations.
