Medicus Mundi Switzerland Sexual and reproductive ill-health is a major contribution to the burden of disease among young people. The objective of CSE is to ensure that young people can build their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to responsibly enjoy their sexuality – physically and emotionally, individually and in relationships. It empowers young people to protect their health, well-being and dignity, as well as to know and exercise their rights. There is clear evidence that CSE has a positive impact on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). The objective of CSE is to ensure that young people can build their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to responsibly enjoy their sexuality – physically and emotionally, individually and in relationships.
Following up on the CSE workshop (28.9.2017), that gave a good overview on CSE, the MMS members expressed their desire to get a deeper understanding of how to implement CSE projects and have more time for discussion. Therefore, this follow-up workshop has a focus on the implementation process (challenges, best practices):
