Il progetto Sx.ed prova a dare una risposta alla mancanza di educazione sessuale in Colombia. L’ America Latina è la seconda zona con il tasso più alto di gravidanze adolescenziali nel mondo. Questo dato porta con sè una grande conseguenza nello sviluppo dell’infanzia e nel futuro dei giovani. La problematica è in crescita e sta portando ad un aumento dell’abbandono scolastico e poche opportunità di finire il proprio percorso formativo. Inoltre porta gli adolescenti ad essere esposti ad una maggiore vulnerabilità, produce modelli di violenza ed esclusione sociale. E questi sono solo alcuni dei problemi che i giovani possono incontrare. Lo scopo della ricerca è quello di capire perché l’educazione sessuale è così importante, in che modo la sua mancanza può influenzare non solo l’aspetto sociale e psicologico, ma anche quello economico e culturale. Inoltre la tesi si propone di indagare l’attuale panorama dell’educazione alla sessualità in Europa e in America Latina, nonché sull’impatto che ha sulle generazioni più giovani. La ricerca si propone di comprendere le esigenze degli adolescenti, come si sentono quando si tratta di parlare di sessualità, cosa pensano e qual è il loro approccio nei confronti di questo tema. Sx.ed, attraverso una comunicazione chiara ed efficace con adolescenti e giovani, puntando sull’anonimato e la privacy, fornisce informazioni accurate, sicure e adeguate sui programmi di prevenzione e sui metodi contraccettivi, oltre a offrire la consulenza a chi non ha il coraggio di parlare dell’argomento con persone che conosce. La ricerca di privacy e l’anonimato sono aspetti davvero importanti quando si parla di sessualità, in quanto si tratta di un argomento intimo che molti preferiscono nascondere e ciò va rispettato.
