• Development and Promotion of Sex Education Toolkits for Adolescents
Partner Organization: Beijing Huairuibang Consultation Centre
Project Duration: Sep 2018 – Aug 2020
Project Status: Ongoing
There has been growing importance on sex education in China in recent years. Despite having an approved sex education training certification by the National Professional Talent Certification Centre, there was still much to be desired. Not only was there a shortage of qualified trainers, existing programmes were unstructured, published texts were unprofessional and lacked scientific basis. As a result, the Beijing Huairuibang Consultation Centre put together a sex education toolkit for children across different ages to facilitate effective sex education for trainers and parents. The development of the toolkit was based on the theory of empowerment education and focuses on four key areas: (1) the human body and the rights of the human body; (2) family and emotions; (3) gender equality; (4) intimacy and sexual diversity. The toolkit is a systematic, scientific and workable solution to close the gaps in sex education in China. It can be applied to family, school, community and peer-based sex education.
