The goal of CSE, which will be integrated at all levels of education, is to “develop” the skills of young people for them to “make informed decisions.” rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/thi…

Actually the biggest barrier to effectively addressing HIV in the Philippines is adult discomfort with young people being sexual beings. Lack of funds and information stem from that. #HIV newsinfo.inquirer.net/197212…

Another group, Roots of Health, cites a UP study that found that 30% of people aged 15 to 24 still believe "it is the wife’s duty to have sex with her husband whenever he wants it," and calls for the urgent need to teach people about the importance of consent. rappler.com/philippines/cons…

Atty. Lorna Kapunan was right to enlighten @SenRobinhood on marital #consent during the recent Senate hearing on sexual harassment, stressing that both spouses have the right to refuse sex, even within marriage. (1)

The recent controversy around @SenRobinhood is a wake-up call. We all have a responsibility to understand and promote the importance of #consent, especially to our children. We call on the PH gov, particularly @DepEd_PH, to fulfill its mandate and roll out CSE now. (9)

August is Intl Youth Month. No one should be coerced into sex, whether in a long-term relationship or not. Let’s work together to guide young people in making informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights, so they can develop and thrive. #(10/10)

Sadly, many share @SenRobinhood views on #consent. Over 30% of young Filipinos believe “it is the wife’s duty to have sex with her husband whenever he wants it”.
Instead of getting lost in outrage, let's focus on how to address this troubling mindset. rootsofhealth.org/press-stat…

Perhaps we can show @SenRobinhood, who is being lambasted on socmed about his seeming confusion about #consent, this animated video from @amazeorg. We already dubbed this in Filipino. Sen, please also share to your millions of supporters. youtu.be/tcopAHTutZ4?si=SQbq…
