PHM-Exch> Right to Sexuality Education

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: meghan at acpd.ca

As you may know, the former Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education
prepared a report in 2010 on the human right to sexuality education
(attached for your reference).  This report represents a big step forward in
articulating the human rights standards related to comprehensive
sexuality education
and provides a useful foundation for the integration of sexuality education
into the UN Human Rights Council.  A new Special Rapporteur was appointed in
the latter half of 2010 and we want to encourage him to follow-up on the
report, let him know that civil society is mobilized and supportive of
comprehensive sexuality education and that we are ready to work with him to
move it forward.   This is particularly important as there has been quite a
bit of opposition to the report and there will likely be continuing
opposition going forward.



A coalition of NGOs has prepared the attached letter and briefing note to
send to the Special Rapporteur and we hope that your organisation will join
us in this initiative.  Please consider *signing on* to the attached letter
and briefing note and email meghan at acpd.ca by THURSDAY JUNE 30 12pm (Geneva
Time) with the full title of your organisation or your name (for
individuals).
