The Importance Of Sexual Education In Iran

In 1913, sex education became a topic that was found to be an important education tool. Since then, this form of education has been a hot and debatable topic among many Americans. The original reason for sex education classes was to reduce problems such as sexually transmitted illnesses and prostitution. In recent years, abstinence has become the focus of sex education curriculum. Abstinence means refraining from sex completely. Although, it is the only one-hundred percent way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, abstinence-only instruction should not be the only form of sex education taught. Our youth need to know about all aspects of sex. This intails how to protect them if they choose to become sexually

Although Iran has made progress in small traces of modernizing women towards primary and secondary prevention systems, the United States is ahead of Iran in terms of treating women’s health issues. The largest challenge that Iran’s health care system faces are modern-day prevention strategies (i.e., screenings, regular checkups, education) to better their reproductive health and gain control over their individualized care. What Iran has efficiently progressed in is establishing three different levels of public health and consistently enforcing management to focus on short-term goals for women. The Islamic Republic of Iran has adopted new HIV prevention programs,

However, adolescent pregnancies and STDs have become a major social issue, since the figures increase every year. In order to help the country, UNFPA (the United Nations Fund for Population Activities) asked Panama to start imparting courses on sexual education through the different school levels. Since the UNFPA suggested this be done, it would be wise to wonder whether this new sex education program has also been implemented in other countries. If so, has it really helped improve teen pregnancies and STDs rates? Dr. Garcia affirms that sex education is indeed crucial for the improvement of the problems of STDs and unwanted

In America sex education is essential knowledge needed, because of a constant increase of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and unplanned pregnancies. This isn?t just an issue affecting teens and adults; it is a danger that even sinks its claws into the children and preteens of the younger generation. This is a horrific thought in itself. However, we can take preventive measures to help educate and prevent in just about every case with the power of knowledge and that?s our greatest tool to combat these atrocities.

Countless young girls and women from Middle Eastern countries are well acquainted with the outdated culture and tradition of female genital mutilation or cutting. Most are so young when the procedure is performed they lack a clear understanding of their culture or the gynecological complications that will follow them into adulthood. Female circumcision, female genital mutilation (FGM), and/or cutting is practised in over 25 countries located in the most rustic areas of eastern, north-eastern, and western parts

The young girls and women who are forced to have this procedure done not only loses their rights to sexual pleasure but their rights are sliced, chopped, punctured, and finally burnt away.

Genital mutilation encompasses the partial or complete removal of external genitalia for non-medical purposes. Genital mutilation is an ample defilement of an individual’s sexuality. Not only is genital mutilation an invasion of a females sexuality, it also attacks and raids her rights, wellbeing, condition and veracity.

In order to produce this literature I decided to focus on HIV. Narrowing down the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) I was able to review knowledge, awareness, and differences among women worldwide. Using several electronic databases including CINAHL, Google Scholar, Pub-Med, and health and wellness resource center was very beneficial in getting different views. Some of the keywords I used were survey, women, HIV, knowledge, health beliefs, and education. I chose not to restrict the searches to see if there were any significant changes in the research. The search included the women in the United States, Pakistan, Somali, Sudanese. The research usually had an age range of

We are number one in the world for teenage pregnancy, about 500,000 births per year from girls under twenty. Second in the statistic is Poland, who only has about 30,000 teenage births in a year. When the topic of sex arises, people become uncomfortable because it is a subject that is thought of as personal and secretive. However, people aren’t only uncomfortable with the subject because of it being taboo, people try to avoid the subject because they aren’t always informed correctly about it and don’t have a way to learn about it, excluding the internet which doesn’t always have accurate material, and lack general knowledge of sex. Education about sex and its surrounding topics such as STI’s and prevention should be medically accurate,

There are Health disparities in Botswana and the United States. The lack of information and misinformation about reproductive health has caused issues with women and their health. The main issue that was found was the prevalence in of STI’s, especially HIV. It is continuing to increase in the number of people infected. The purpose of the paper is to explore some reasons why the issues are continuing to arise and also suggestions on how to combat them. Through research it was found that many social aspects could be correlated to the overall reason of not being sexually healthy. This paper will start with giving general statistics that will describe each population, followed by some key issues found in the research and conclude

The society already depicts the right and wrong behaviors in which men and women should adhere to, thus this already constructed norms and values maps the right and wrongful practices of sexuality in different communities. The gender norms already prescribe the expectations of sexuality in the society. For example, female genital mutilation is a rite of passage that detects every girl should undergo so that they can be termed as a woman and hence eligible for marriage in the society. The circumcision practice is a gender belief or norm that is only aligned to womanhood, but it affects the sexuality of these women. Other gender practices such as early or polygamous marriages have been the cause of what is termed as unsafe sexuality in the society. It should be noted that gender and sexuality significantly affect the basis of any society. These gender norms have led to increasing in disease transmission and illiterate

Female Genital Mutilation is one of the biggest health threats to women in the world. It discriminates against their right to health and security. Ethiopia notices this world problem and proposes solutions leading to the elimination of the practice. First, Ethiopia proposes to spread awareness all over the world. In undeveloped countries, this will be done by partnering up with NGO’s including: Save the Children, V Day, Worldvision, and Equality Now. This practice is believed to be decreased and eventually stopped by educating the sovereignty of the dangers and threats FGM conceives. Respected locals would be encouraged to educate not only the women on the harmful effects, however also boys and men, the public, faith leaders, and health professionals. For the public to act and comprehend this, the speakers must be trusted and efficient. The public will be taught how to avoid pressure of being accepted from the community and doubt how FGM is necessary to become suitable for marriage. By

Sexual education need to be inforce more properly because it is causing a rapid growth in teen pregnancy and STD’S. Teen pregnancy is a female

Many societies, including in Malaysia, disapprove of premarital sex. As a result, young people have limited or no access to education and information on reproductive sexual health care. Modern contraceptive use among adolescents is generally low, and decreases with economic status. Fewer than 5% of the poorest young use modern contraception. Young women consistently report less contraceptive usage than men, evidence of their unequal power in negotiating safer sex or restrictions on their access to services (such as lack of information, shame, laws, health provider attitudes and practices, or social

In Malaysia, the Cabinet ministry has permitted to introduce “reproductive and social health education” in the school curriculum after years of consideration. 160 pages of guidelines were produced by Ministries of Education and Women, Family and Community Development.
