Evidence-based Advocacy: Championing Sex Ed in Europe (CSE)

CHOICE for Youth and Sexuality and YouAct, two European youth-led SRHR organizations, have collaborated on the project: Evidence-based Advocacy: Championing SexEd in Europe (CSE) project. CHOICE and YouAct, in collaboration with other youth organizations, facilitated consultations held in Bulgaria, Georgia, Macedonia, Romania, and The Netherlands. The key messages from these consultations were presented to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) with a request to address these issues. MEPs were encouraged to support the campaign to translate the research findings into tangible policy reform at the EU level, which was particularly relevant given the expected parliamentary elections between the 23-26 of May 2019.

The outcomes of this research were used to create an advocacy media campaign and a comprehensive factsheet titled ‘Advancing Sexuality Education in Europe’ (available for download below). The key messages distilled from these consultations were presented to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), accompanied by a request to address these pertinent issues.
