Parents, Teachers, and CSE
Editorial – Parents, Teachers, and CSE
Each time a child or adolescent asks a question that may be (even indirectly) related to sexuality, many parents and teachers get squirmy and nervous. This may be because they themselves do not have the information required, but in most cases, it has more to do with the ‘hush-hush’ that surrounds sexuality.

यौनिकता शिक्षकों की धृष्टता!
आख़िरकार, व्यापक यौनिकता शिक्षा का मतलब सिर्फ़ ज्ञान देना ही नहीं है। हम ऐसे सक्षम शिक्षक चाहते हैं जो हमारे यौन अनुभवों को संबोधित करने के लिए कला, नृत्य, संगीत, रंगमंच जैसे कई तरीक़ों को शामिल करते हैं और हमें आगे जाकर ऐसे अनुभवों के लिए तैयार करते हैं।
