Outside the gender box

Pawan Singh

Sex is a taboo word for us and perhaps because of this we are also obssessed with it. Let us not keep sex under wraps and leave our children at the mercy of the bad influences in society to understand things about themselves and the opposite sex. Let us start small, be comfortable ourselves and then hold our children’s hands while they cross the line into adulthood.

Ketaki Chowkhani

In India, sexuality education has been restricted to a couple of chapters in the biology textbook. Whether the school or the home, people have been happy to scratch the surface of this important subject and not traverse beyond. It is necessary that schools and homes become progressive and comfortable environments where children can find answers to all their questions without fear and hesitation.
