Promoting equality and preventing violence are health issues
Education for emotional, relational and sexual life (EVARS) is education for full citizenship promoting healthy emotional relationships, the requirement of consent, the recognition of sexual orientations and gender minorities and the fight against inequality. In particular, it is a means of preventing and combating violence and the sexual exploitation of minors (Convention de Lanzarote, 2007). It also aims to promoting sexual health, understood as “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in terms of sexuality and not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity” (OMS).
In its “international guidelines for sexuality education”, theUNESCO aims to enable individuals to make free choices based on scientifically accurate education, according to cultural resources, adapted to age and level of development, based on gender equality and in support of human rights.
Finally, it is an essential tool for achieving gender equality (HCE, 2016). The report of the High Council of Equality states that ” given what is at stake in terms of citizenship, gender equality and health, it is the responsibility of the public authorities to provide all young people with objective information, free from judgment and stereotypes, and, when they express the need, to provide them with the necessary support"« .
Whereas in France, since 2001, the Aubry law has provided for three annual sessions of sex education, only 13% of the total number of sessions would actually be carried out (Survey Nous Toutes). L'œil du loup is one of the organizations that runs these sessions, with the aim of promoting health and preventing sexist and sexual violence.
