Impact of sex education on sexual abuse and unsafe abortions

Sociology

Sex education is vital to a person's personality development and helps to mold them into the person they are today. It aids in their decision-making by encouraging them to adopt a logical mindset as opposed to acting on impulse. One of India's primary issues that we still don't address adequately is the lack of sex education and good conversation about sexual behaviours.This research adds a new dimension to the subject by providing a contemporary perspective on the impact of sex education. In India, there is a significant issue with both domestic and other forms of violence against women. In all, one-third of women between the ages of 15 and 49 have been victims of physical abuse, and one in ten have also been victims of sexual abuse. 35 percent of people say they have been the victim of physical or sexual abuse.The aim of this article is to analyse, the social representations that are circulated about the sex education and how they impact the life of young children who are slowly learning about the ways of this world. In this paper, we intend to explore how sex education affects teenage pregnancies and inturn unsafe abortion. Child-centered education, which teaches kids how to recognise, avoid, and report sexual abuse, is a major component in the prevention of child sexual abuse.
