Answer to Question 1
Responses should consider:
- China has traditionally placed taboos on sex education.
- These taboos include discussing sex.
- Nearly half of all college students in China have received no education in school about sexual behavior and health.
- As China modernizes, more adolescents are becoming sexually active at earlier ages.
- This has led to a dramatic rise in unplanned pregnancy and the spread of STIs.
- In acknowledgment of rising rates of unplanned pregnancy and STIs, China has begun to educate young people about sex and sexual health.
- The Chinese government approved a website called You and Me, the intention of which was to inform young people about a variety of sexual topics.
- The website places particular emphasis on such subjects as HIV/AIDS, unwanted pregnancies, and unsafe abortion practices.
- Through the website, Chinese youth are able to read about sexuality and to communicate with each other about sexual matters.
- China is also becoming open to research about sexuality.
- The World Health Organization funded a large-scale study in the mid-2000s to establish a comprehensive sex education program in a small Chinese town near Shanghai. Participants were unmarried people between the ages of 15 and 24.
- Topics included contraception, STIs, and healthy sexual behaviors.
- As a result of the study, participants engaged in less coercive sexual behavior and were more likely to use condoms and other forms of contraception.
- They were also less likely to experience unwanted pregnancies.
