2024 Sex Ed for All Month Resources Now Available!  

  May Is #SexEdForAll Month!  

Join us as we celebrate May as Sex Ed for All Month and voice our commitment to a world where all young people—no matter who they are or where they live—get the sex education they deserve. 

Sex education gives young people age-appropriate, medically accurate, and culturally relevant information and answers to their questions about sex and relationships without shame or judgment. It has been proven to positively impact young people’s lives. But too many young people don’t have access to sex education, or the programs in their school are shaming and/or inaccurate. We want to stand with young people so they can get the information and skills they need to make healthy decisions about sex and relationships, now and in the future.

Sex Ed for All Month provides the opportunity to push back on efforts by organized, well-funded extremist groups to dismantle our democratic institutions, including our nation’s public schools. Schools are ground zero for the culture wars, and conservative groups are intentionally lying to confuse and frighten parents/caregivers, intimidate educators and administrators, and limit young people’s access to information. 

Sex Ed For All Month is spearheaded by Sex Education Collaborative, in coordination with a national coalition of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations committed to ensuring sex education for all young people. Spread the word that anyone can advocate for sex education in their community!

Why SE4A Month?

Why Sex Ed for All Month? (and why May is no longer Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month)

We believe that no matter who you are or where you live, you deserve sex education that is reflective of your experiences and needs. Because we must stop stigmatizing young people, we no longer recognize the month of May as Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. May is Sex Ed For All Month. We stand with young people, so they have the power and the right to access the education and information they need to achieve the best positive outcomes for themselves.
