How do you find your voice in a segment that is currently booming? Four educators weigh in

Sexuality has historically been a sensitive and often taboo subject in India, but times are changing. The COVID-19 lockdown has catalysed more open and inclusive conversations about sex that have gained acceptance in the mainstream. This dialogue has found its way into discussions on social media, educating and informing individuals across generations, from Millennials to Gen Z, on how to navigate this essential aspect of human life.

However, the conversations aren’t limited to just sexual health; they now extend to sexual self-acceptance and love. Sexual health and wellness educators in India are increasingly emphasising consent education, where the focus is on equipping children with knowledge about the importance of consent and teaching their parents about setting and respecting boundaries.

It also involves helping preteens understand that puberty is a natural part of life, and providing support, especially to those whose mental health is affected by it or who experience puberty incongruent with their gender identity.
