The YSAFE network — IPPF EN's youth activists for sexual and reproductive health and rights in Europe and Central Asia — led a research project into what young people really want from sexuality education. This report presents the key findings of that work.
The research responds to a concern consistently raised by youth activists across the region: that too often, sexuality education does not reflect the realities of young people’s lives, while policies are shaped without listening to those most affected. YSAFE set out to change this by generating knowledge and evidence grounded in young people’s own experiences, needs, and expectations.
The report explores what and how young people want to learn about relationships and sexuality, as well as where and from whom they prefer to learn. Its findings represent the voices of over 1,500 young people from nine countries — Albania, Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, North Macedonia, Romania, Spain and Sweden — collected through surveys, focus groups and digital research.
