A trifecta of powerful globalist organizations is rigorously executing a plan to teach kindergarteners about sexuality and "empower" children to say yes to sexual encounters, according to agency documents reviewed by The Epoch Times.
Critics say this amounts to children being "groomed" for sex under the banner of human rights and education, while pedophilia is promoted and parental rights are undermined. Experts told The Epoch Times that the push for these programs to be accepted in nations around the world could lead to the practice of having sex with "consenting" children being viewed as acceptable.
Proponents of the programs say they seek to ensure that children's "rights" to sexual pleasure are protected.
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations are advancing children's exposure to sexuality on two fronts, according to documents.
On one front, the organizations are promoting comprehensive sexuality education that emphasizes teaching consent for sex. On another front, the groups are pushing to remold the portrayal of children and young people as "sexual beings" with sexual rights that should be based on maturity instead of age.The version of childhood sexual education promoted by the groups includes what most parents would recognize as sex education. The coursework includes explanations of reproductive biology and discussions of how abstinence can prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
But the curriculum also introduces the idea that minors have "rights" to make decisions concerning their own bodies and to experience "desire, pleasure, and happiness," without parental involvement, while exploring homosexuality and role-playing.
Proponents such as the WHO say evidence shows that young people are more likely to initiate sexual activity later—and to practice safer sex—when they are better informed about sexuality, sexual relations, and their rights through programs like childhood sexual education.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has praised childhood sexual education for giving children and youth access to developmentally appropriate education that increases the rates of contraception and condom use. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Adolescent Health Care has cited studies demonstrating that childhood sexual education reduces the rates of sexual activity, unprotected sex, STDs, and teen pregnancy.
Networking Sex Ed
Meg Kilgannon and other experts are convinced that childhood sexual education is harmful. She believes that the globalist groups' agenda could ultimately harm children by normalizing pedophilia.Ms. Kilgannon, senior fellow for educational studies at the Family Research Council, believes the ultimate goal for these groups is to lower the age of consent to make it legal for children to have sex.
"There are adults who want to have sex with children, and they are working in international sex-rights groups to make that happen," Ms. Kilgannon told The Epoch Times.
Stefano Gennarini is an attorney and vice president for legal studies at the Center for Family and Human Rights, a conservative watchdog group in New York. He says a network of U.N. agencies and nonprofits provides children with information about engaging in all manner of sexual activity, transgenderism, and abortion. The coordinated international effort is "very well-funded," Mr. Gennarini told The Epoch Times. "This is not a conspiracy theory."The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) commissioned a document about teaching sex education to children beginning in kindergarten called the "International Technical Guidance on Sexual Education."
UNESCO worked with the WHO and U.N. agencies, such as U.N. Women and the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF), to develop the guide, according to agency websites.
The document's introduction states that the program's aim is to "equip children and young people" with knowledge and to empower them to "develop respectful social and sexual relationships."
The guidance falls under the U.N.'s global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. U.N. members—including the United States under President Barack Obama's leadership—adopted the agenda's 17 goals in 2015 for ending poverty, protecting the planet, and improving lives worldwide.As part of that agenda, the U.N. wants its brand of sex education to be mandatory worldwide. It has called on governments to enforce the policies through international pledges already made.
"Continued efforts are needed to ensure that CSE [childhood sexual education] is mandated under law and/or policy," according to a U.N. agency progress report called "The Journey Towards Comprehensive Sexuality Education."
To help further that mission, the IPPF published a kit that outlines sex-ed standards for children younger than 10.Meanwhile, the IPPF, along with other global non-governmental organizations, collaborated with the WHO and the UN to frame "child sexual rights" as "human rights."
The IPPF developed "Exclaim! Young People's Guide to 'Sexual Rights: an IPPF Declaration," partly based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The concept of young people's "evolving capacity" stems from that convention. It calls on leaders and societies to value young people's developing maturity to make decisions on their own.
The sexual rights declaration says children and youths are entitled to have pleasurable sex. Those under 18 years "should enjoy" the full range of human rights, including "sexual rights," according to the document.
"Young people are sexual beings," the document states on its opening page. "They have sexual needs, desires, fantasies, and dreams."
"It is important for all young people around the world to be able to explore, experience, and express their sexualities in healthy, positive, pleasurable, and safe ways," the guide continues. It asserts children can make decisions about sex based on their maturity, free from parental "interference."
