Show Notes

Does sex education only mean ‘reproduction’, ‘organs’ and ‘hormones’ – or is it more? Are unfiltered discussions about sexual experiences, contraception and emergency pills being avoided, simply because teachers do not want to accept that the Indian youth indulges in premarital, multiple partner sex? What is not being told to students – and what are the consequences? This episode features unheard voices of young Indians who tell us about their vulnerabilities while trying to seek proper information about sex in their school years. Listen to find out why barring information means disempowerment.
