Bill > HRes445

This resolution recognizes May as Sex Ed For All Month and supports comprehensive, inclusive sexual health education for young people. The resolution highlights significant health challenges facing youth, including high rates of unintended teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and interpersonal violence, with particular emphasis on disparities affecting marginally represented groups like LGBTQ+ and racial minority populations. The resolution calls on public officials, educational agencies, and health organizations to advocate for and invest in sex education programs that are evidence-based, medically accurate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and age-appropriate. It specifically encourages programs that provide comprehensive information about sexual health, consent, relationships, gender identity, and sexual orientation, while discouraging education approaches that withhold critical health information, perpetuate stereotypes, or fail to address the diverse needs of young people. The resolution aims to promote gender and racial equity, empower young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and health, and support the development of inclusive, comprehensive sexual health education across various educational and community settings.
