Abstract

This inaugural statement explores the significance of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in promoting gender equality, preventing gender-based violence, and improving the health and wellbeing of adolescents. It underscores the importance of inclusive, school-based sexuality education that equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and values needed for informed sexual and reproductive health decisions. Drawing on global research and policy developments, the statement highlights progress and persistent challenges in delivering quality CSE across various education systems worldwide.
