We, the undersigned civil society organizations (CSOs), advocates, and stakeholders in child rights, youth development, women’s rights, health, and education, firmly stand united in our commitment to uphold the rights and welfare of young learners, advance evidence-based programs, promote comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), and support policies addressing teen pregnancy.
We strongly condemn the disinformation aimed to undermine CSE and block the passage of the urgently needed Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) bill (Senate Bill 1979). Rooted in bigotry and a skewed sense of morality, these attacks intentionally misrepresent facts and use sensationalism to create unwarranted fear and division among the public, particularly, the parents of our children.
