We want sex education : students from kerala

According to a recent study conducted by Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management- Kerala, over 80 percent of students who participated in a survey wanted sex education. Most of them were of the opinion that it would help them to be comfortable while interacting with the opposite sex!

In Kerala, sex is a suppressed/underground activity. This makes sex education much more important for the future generations.

Another disturbing finding from the study was that many children were victims of sexual abuse. Nearly 30 percent of children reported atleast one form of sex abuse. Releasing the report, Mukunda das said that this figure indicates "critical social reality".
