Today’s cheerleaders for globalization are actually advocating a form of ultraliberalism reminiscent of the unregulated capitalism of the nineteenth century. Their vision of the world is threatening many of the gains achieved in the West. And education, too, is being caught up in the current.
This issue of OS/OS unravels the seemingly impenetrable and often unquestioned connections between youth, sex education, the impacts of colonization and the realities of communities of colour. With contributions from several youth of colour and a section written by (and for) allies, this issue delves deeply into the trenches of what's happened, what's still not working, and what needs to take place for equitable sex education to become a reality for the next generation.
