Recognising and including this in curricula at schools is a simple way of fostering safe environments for all children and supports strategies to reduce bullying at schools. ○ As a point of reference, the LGBTI FRA Survey II (2019) shows that an EU average of 38% of trans respondents between the ages of 15-17 had “often” or “always” experienced negative comments or conduct at school because of them being trans. ● Sex education does not encourage children to change their gender or their sexual orientation. Quite the opposite, if a person’s identity could be externally influenced, trans and gender diverse people would not exist. Traditional binary ideas of sex and gender are still the norm in our societies and violence is directed towards those who fall outside of those. ○ Sex education helps children to understand how diverse gender and sexuality really are. ○ It helps them to approach information and to process it critically, so they will be better prepared for the information that can be found in social media, for example. ○ It also helps them to realise who they are and who they are not.
