Too many American youth are navigating sex, relationships, and their own identities without access to evidence-based sex education. This comes with real consequences. CDC data shows that a lack of medically accurate, age-appropriate, and affirming education leads to higher rates of unintended pregnancies, sexually-transmitted infections, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Every young person deserves the tools and knowledge to make informed, empowered decisions about their bodies and their futures.
The Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act establishes grants for medically-accurate and age-appropriate sex education at schools and youth-serving organizations, educator training, and the delivery of sexual health services to underserved young people. The bill also repeals the Abstinence Only Until Marriage Program.
Young people deserve to be accurately and comprehensively informed about sex, sexual health services, healthy relationships, and more. Take just one moment now to tell Congress to support the Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act.
