One of the resources we have to promote sexual and reproductive health is sexuality education. In Colombia, schools are a main source of information on sexuality, and they require support in understanding the micro as well as the macro social context in which they exist. Marta Carolina Ibarra Avila will discuss the Colombian Sexuality Education public policy, its main outcomes and its biggest challenges, as well as the importance of sexuality education in school settings. Marta Carolina Ibarra Avila works in the promotion of sexual and reproductive human rights through research and psychosocial intervention. She is a doctoral candidate at the Universidad de los Andes and is a Fulbright Visiting Research Scholar at the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education. This event is a brown bag event. Refreshments will be provided.
