Sexual education according to the UN, UNESCO and WHO
Vijaya Vishwanathan: Within education, the UN wants something called comprehensive sexuality education.
Rinku Wadhera: Like, on the face of it, Vijaya, it sounds very innocuous. Comprehensive sexuality education, I, as an educator, would think would tell you about your body's development, its growth, and, also, you know, how to have a safe and good life later on. So what is so devious about this?
Vijaya Vishwanathan: Okay. So there is sex education, the old fashioned way, which talks about prevention of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual abuse, sexual violence...
Rinku Wadhera: Dangers of promiscuity.
Vijaya Vishwanathan: Dangers of promiscuity, sexual hygiene... So these are topics that most parents would say, "Yes, my child should know. We don't want our child to have an abortion or get pregnant or get into trouble and have some sexually transmitted disease that we can't get rid of". Most parents would agree. Now what makes sex education comprehensive, according to the United Nations, the WHO, and the UNESCO, is that you add a dose of sex positivity. So when you do that, what happens is they minimize the sexual risks and, sexually transmitted diseases... All of this, they minimize. They treat abortions very casually. It's like, go ahead and by the way, if you do get pregnant, there are ways of dealing with it. So that's sort of the attitude. That's the stance.
Sex positivity - the devil is in the details
Now with sex positivity, also, you can counter and say, "What is wrong in viewing sex in a positive way?". And, yes, as a mother of two boys, I think they should look at sex positively. I have nothing against it. But, again, the devil is in the details because, they, first of all, start sex education really early. Right?
Masturbation is a huge part of this. They tell, encourage small children, to to masturbate. Okay. So the groundwork is being laid by having, AI bots to teach children, having, digital platforms to bypass parents and teachers. So these are the steps [that] are coming, and there's a constant pressure to stick to the IT GSE guidelines on sex education...
Rinku Wadhera: which are...
Vijaya Vishwanathan: Which are the UNESCO's guidelines.
Rinku Wadhera: Alright.
Vijaya Vishwanathan: So when you go into these UNESCO guidelines, you find that, there is this push for, these kinds of practices.
Europe is ahead in sexualising education
In fact, Europe is way ahead in the cutting edge of comprehensive sexuality education, and you'll be shocked, Rinku. You have a three year old sitting with a counselor where the counselor is telling this three year old toddler who can barely speak, right, telling him to touch himself in his private parts and asks him, do you feel good when you touch that? So they're encouraging this...
Rinku Wadhera: Sexualizing their children.
Vijaya Vishwanathan: So comprehensive sexuality education is, like, essentially sexualizing education.
Yeah. It has nothing to do with safe side. It's just the opposite, in fact. For kids with HIV, starting from age 10, there is a guide and there are FAQs - you know, questions.
And there they say, "If you are your are a child, or youth with HIV and you don't feel like telling your partner that you have you you are HIV positive. You don't feel like telling You don't have to. It's okay. Alright. Okay". So you can go ahead and infect the other person, but just go have a good time.
Rinku Wadhera: Okay. So while on the one hand, they're talking about consent, they're also talking about lying and encouraging it.
Vijaya Vishwanathan: because it's all about sex positivity. It's all about going after your sexual feelings, desires, erotic sexual experiences, pornography, using pornography in your sexual... In fact, one of the things to prevent pregnancy, manuals basically say, [is] that you can try these alternate sexual acts, which are extremely pleasurable and won't get you pregnant.
Rinku Wadhera: Alright. So experiment on your body.
Vijaya Vishwanathan: No. No. No. No. This is with your partner. You don't have to have regular intercourse, but you can have this sex, that sex, all of that. So these are all taught to children. And there are "how to" manuals on all of this. Right?
Planned Parenthood, which is the international organization, which also has the Family Planning Association of India as their affiliate here. They have affiliates also who designed these books.
The big push to sexualise children all over the world
There's a big push to sexualize kids all over the world, and India has just easily just taken this on without looking into what these standards are, what is the UNESCO saying about sex, what is WHO's stance on these things.
