Including the challenge of sexual education in state schools. Talking about sex education is not easy since the taboos generate the distance and covers more and more the subject. However, sexual education has its importance in preventing and combating situations that are posed as social problems, it can act in the breaking of prejudice, sexual violence and violence against women, respect for diversity, the formation of critical awareness etc. The problem that hinders the development of sex education in schools is in the growing wave of conservatism, and especially that of the present condition, increasing even more the existing taboos for this subject.
