The project of La Casa de la Sal, A.C. related to Comprehensive Sexual Education, involves providing information on self-care, self-knowledge, sexual diversity, attention to emotional and sexual health, as well as education and prevention of STIs, specifically HIV, through the response to the questions, concerns and worries that adolescents and young people have about their sexuality, breaking down barriers associated with stigma, discrimination, and prejudices that surround sexuality.
In Mexico, 375,296 people live with HIV, of which 18% are women. In the last year, a growing rate of infection has been detected among young people aged 25 to 29 years. Therefore, providing access to educational services and mental health care makes it easier for them to live an informed life free of violence and stigma. According to Censida, in 2024, 15,587 new cases of HIV were detected and reported, of which 6,405 correspond to young people aged 10 to 29 years.
The contents of this project will be carried out under the psycho-pedagogical model that governs Comprehensive Sexual Education, not taught as a formal and static model but as a process that focuses on the stages of human development, where biological, psychological, emotional and social aspects are considered, in addition to relational communication, reproduction, affective relationships and pleasure, thus impacting emotional and sexual health.
Empowering young people through Comprehensive Sexual Education to make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and interpersonal relationships. Young people who receive comprehensive sexual education become community leaders capable of replicating knowledge and preventing gender violence in their places of origin. With your help, we can touch the lives of around 1000-1500 children, teenagers, and young people
