Uma kukhona Asho Amantombazane, Imfundo Yocansi, noma Umlomo Omkhulu usifundisile, ukuthi ukuntula kwethu izifundo zocansi kwenza kube nokuzijabulisa okuhle. Into ewukuthi, akukho lutho olujabulisayo mayelana neqiniso lokuthi izingane azifundiswa ulwazi lwezokwelapha oludingayo ukuze zenze izinqumo ezinolwazi mayelana nemizimba yazo.

ISustain — inkampani eyaziwa kakhulu ngamathamponi emvelo, amakhondomu, nezinto zokugcoba — ilapha ukuzokhombisa ukuthi ayijabulisi kanjani. Namuhla inkampani iqale umkhankaso omusha obizwa nge-Sexpect More ngevidiyo (funda: ukukhala kwe-rallying) enamazwi angama-20 anethonya abelana ngobuqotho ngalokho abafisa ngabe ngabe ukufundiswe ekilasini lohlelo locansi. Umgomo: ukugqamisa ukuthi sibi kangakanani isimo semfundo yezocansi e-United States futhi siqale ingxoxo eqotho ngokuthi ingabukeka kanjani ngempela.

Funda ezinye zezibalo ezishaqisayo ngemfundo yezocansi e-United States. Futhi, indlela ekhuthazayo iSustain isebenza ukuyithuthukisa.

Okokuqala, izibalo zezocansi Ed

Uma ukhumbula uvala umlomo ezithombeni ezicacile zezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi ezingalashwa noma uqhweba njengoba umama okhalayo ehlukaniswa ngaphakathi njengoba kukhala umntwana ozwakala kakhulu ekhala, ungomunye (futhi ngiyazonda ukukusho) unenhlanhla labo, ababenokufana nhlobo kwezemfundo yezocansi.

Kusukela ngoJuni 15, 2020, yizifundazwe ezingama-28 kuphela kanye nesifunda sombuso saseWashington DC ezidinga ukufundiswa ngocansi kanye nemfundo ye-HIV, ngokusho kweGuttmacher Institute, inhlangano ehamba phambili yocwaningo nenqubomgomo ezibophezele ekuthuthukiseni impilo yezocansi nokuzala kanye namalungelo e-US nasemhlabeni jikelele. . Yebo, cishe ngaphezu kwesigamu. Okubi nakakhulu: Kulezi zifundazwe, ziyi-17 kuphela ezidinga ukuthi ikharikhulamu yazo yokufundisa ngocansi inembile ngokwezempilo. Ngamanye amagama, kusemthethweni ngokuphelele ukuthi abafundisi bavuke lapho futhi baqede amanga.

Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ziningi izinto ezithinta imfundo ngqo umfundi ayitholayo — kufaka phakathi uxhaso lwezwe kanye nolwezombusazwe, imithetho yezwe namazinga ezocansi, izinqubomgomo namazinga ezikole zesikole maqondana nezifundo nokuqukethwe, uhlelo noma ikharikhulamu yesikole ngasinye kanye ofundisa lolu hlelo—isipiliyoni socansi singahluka kakhulu, ngisho nasezifundeni noma ezifundeni eziyigunyazayo, ngokusho kwe-Advocates for Youth.

Kuyashaqisa nje: Izifundazwe ezinhlanu kuphela ezithi isihloko semvume sidinga ukuba sekharikhulamu yemfundo yezocansi. "Lokhu kuyethusa nje, kuyaphoxa, futhi kudinga ukushintsha manje kunakuqala," kusho umbhali, umculi, kanye nosomlomo u-Alok Menon, umbhali Ngaphandle Kokubili kobulili, kuvidiyo ethi Phakamisa. (Okuhlobene: Iyini Imvume, Ngempela? Futhi, Ungayicela Kanjani Futhi Nini)

Kungani Imfundo Esezingeni Lezocansi Ibalulekile?

Okokuqala, njengoba ulwazi noma umqondo ungakutshela: Imfundo yocansi lokuziyeka kuphela ayigcini izingane ukuthi ziye ocansini. Konke okwenzayo ukugcina izingane zingazibandakanyi ocansini oluphephile noma oluvikelwe. Izibalo ngezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi kanye nokukhulelwa kwentsha okungafunwa ziyaqinisekisa lokhu: Ngokocwaningo olushicilelwe yi- I-International Journal yama-STD nama-AID, amazwe anezinhlelo zokuzithiba kuphela anamazinga aphezulu ezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi njenge-gonorrhea kanye ne-chlamydia phakathi kwentsha. Futhi amanani okukhulelwa okungahleliwe futhi angafuneki nawo aphakeme (ikakhulukazi, kabili (!) Aphezulu) kubantu lapho izingane zithola khona izifundo zokufunda ngocansi ezigcizelela ukuzithiba-kuphela.

Akuyona isayensi ye-rocket: Ngaphandle kolwazi olwanele noma olunembile lwezokwelapha olutholakalayo, intsha ayitholi isithombe esiphelele sezingozi ezingaba khona (noma injabulo!) zocansi. Futhi ngenxa yalokho, empeleni abakwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezinolwazi ngezempilo, zokuthatha ingozi noma ukuthatha izinyathelo ezifanele zokunciphisa lezo zingcuphe.

Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, noma yiziphi izinhlelo zokuyeka ukuzitika ngocansi kuphela zivame ukugcina zishumayela ngomfazi oyedwa, izimiso ezinhle zomndeni, kanye nohlaka lomndeni lwenuzi. Ngenxa yalokhu, bagcina behlazeke ngokuphelele nangokucacile abasinde ekuhlukunyezweni ngokocansi, labo asebevele bezibandakanya ocansini, abasebasha futhi ababuza intsha, ngisho nabantu abavela emindenini eyodwa.

Cabanga ukutshelwa ukuthi noma ngubani owenza ucansi ngaphambi komshado uya esihogweni lapho usunaso vele. Noma, uqala ukungabaza ubulili bakho futhi utshelwe ukuthi i-P-in-V ukuphela kohlobo locansi "olubalwayo." Lezi zinhlobo zezifundo (kusuka ekugxileni ekugxileni ocansini noma eminye imiyalezo yamasiko) zingadala ihlazo lezocansi noma amahloni ahlobene nanoma yimiphi imicabango yezocansi, imizwa, isimilo, nesimo sengqondo. Okusho ukuthi, lolu hlobo locansi oluyihlazo lungashiya imithelela ehlala njalo emandleni omuntu okuba nempilo yocansi enempilo nejabulisayo kanye/noma abe nobudlelwano obunempilo nemizimba yabo.

Futhi maqondana nokushoda kwemininingwane ezungeze imvume kuya kuphi? Njengoba usomahlaya nomlingisi uSydnee Washington esho kwividiyo yomkhankaso, "Yebo, lokho kunengqondo kakhulu, uma kubhekwa izinto ezenzekayo." Ngamanye amagama, isiko elidlange lokudlwengula kuleli lizwe, okungenani ngokwengxenye, kungenxa yokungabi bikho kwemvume efundiswa ezikoleni. (Okuhlobene: Iyini Imvume, Ngempela? Futhi, kanjani futhi nini ukuyicela).

Ukucabanga Imfundo Yezocansi Ephelele

Imfundo ebanzi yezocansi kufanele idlule nje ukwabelana ngolwazi mayelana nezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi nokukhulelwa. Kufanele ihlanganise i-e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, okuhlanganisa isimo somzimba, ubumnandi, imvume, impilo yokuzala, ukuzimela komzimba, ukusho ubulili, ubulili, ubudlelwano obunempilo, impilo yengqondo, ukushaya indlwabu, nokuningi.

Ngifisa ukuthi ngifunde ocansini ed ukuthi akuwona wonke ama-labia abukeka ngendlela efanayo. Futhi lawo ma-vaginas abukeka ehlukile. Futhi ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi eyakho ibukeka yehlukile kunaleyo okungenzeka uke wayibona akusho ukuthi uyinqaba noma ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle ngawe. Kusho nje ukuthi zihlukile, futhi ukwehluka kunempilo futhi kwehlukile kuhle, futhi okwehlukile yilokho okwenza imizimba ibe mihle.

UMary Beth Barone, usomahlaya

Abashushisi abayingxenye yesinyathelo sikaSustain bathola ukucabanga okukhulu nangaphezulu ngokuthi imfundo yezocansi ephelele ingahle ibukeke kanjani. Isibonelo, kuvidiyo, umlingisi nosomahlaya u-Tiffany Haddish uyanezela: "Ngifisa sengathi bafundise abantu ukuthi [ukukhwabanisa] kwenzeka ukuze ungavikeleki futhi ucabange ukuthi isitho sakho sangasese siphukile!" (ICYWW, queefs are not just vaginal farts.) Futhi umkhiqizi wamavidiyo uFreddie Ransom uthi, "Ngifisa sengathi ngabe ngafunda ukuthi ukushaya indlwabu kulungile! Kuyinto evamile! Ngisho nempilo futhi [ukuthi akufanele] uzizwe unamahloni ngakho." (Ngenkathi sisesihlokweni, nazi izindawo ezithile zokushaya indlwabu ongazama ngazo.)

Ngenxa yekharikhulamu yokufundisa ngocansi ye-MIA, abantu abaningi baphoqeleka ukuthi bayofuna izimpendulo kwenye indawo. Abaningi bafuna ukunakekelwa kwezikhungo zokukhulelwa ezibucayi, ezivame ukuqhutshwa izinhlangano zezenkolo ezinezinye izisusa, izinkundla eziku-inthanethi njengeReddit, ezingahlolisiswa amaqiniso ngamadokhumenti, noma kubahlinzeki bezempilo. Ngenkathi it kubonakala njengoba odokotela bengaba umthombo omuhle wolwazi lwezempilo, odokotela abaningi abakulungele ukuphendula iziguli zabo ezibakhathazayo ngempilo yocansi nemibuzo; ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi odokotela abakhulumi nentsha ngemfundo yezempilo yezocansi ikakhulu ngoba bengenakho ukuqeqeshwa nokuzethemba. Ocwaningweni oluphenya ukuthi isikole se-med silungiselela kanjani odokotela ukuxilonga nokwelapha izinkinga zocansi, abacwaningi bathola ukuthi ubulili bomuntu bufundiswa njengesifundo kumaphesenti angu-30 kuphela wezikole. (Lesi esinye sezizathu esenza umphakathi wezokwelapha uqobo ukhulume kaninginingi ngokumelene nemfundo yokuzibandakanya kwezocansi kuphela.)

Ukuncika kubahlinzeki bezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngemfundo yezocansi kuyingozi ikakhulukazi ezigulini ezingamalungu abantu abambalwa: Kuhlolo lwe-2019 lwama-oncologists angama-450 ashicilelwe ku Ijenali yeClinical Oncology, cishe isigamu kuphela sodokotela babezethemba ekwazini kwabo ukukhathazeka kwezempilo kwabantu besifazane abathandana nabobulili obufanayo. Ucwaningo lwesibili lukhombisa ukuthi iziguli eziMnyama zithola, ngokwesilinganiso, ukunakekelwa okubi kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nabamhlophe baseMelika-ukunakekelwa kokuvikela, ukuzala, kanye nezocansi konke kufakiwe. (Bheka: Ukunakekelwa Kwezempilo kwe-LGBTQ+ Kubi Kakhulu Kunoontanga Babo Abaqondile nokuthi Kungani Izinzuzo Zezempilo Zidinga Ukuba Ingxenye Yengxoxo Emayelana Nobandlululo)

Futhi, "awukwazi ukuya kudokotela njalo uma unombuzo ngokuthile okwenziwa ngumzimba wakho noma uzoba nomlingani omusha ocansini," kusho omunye wabasunguli kanye nomongameli weSustain, uMeika Hollender. "Akunangqondo impela."

Ngakho-ke uma ngisho nodokotela bengeyona indlela ethembekile yokugcwalisa izimbobo ezishiywe ubulili besikole sakho, lapho isihogo ungaya khona ukuze ufunde okwengeziwe? Sethula: Lindela Okuningi.

Yini Ongayilindela ku-Sexpect More

Isinyathelo sikaSustain se-Sexpect More siyingxenye eningi.Okokuqala, lo mkhiqizo unethemba lokugqamisa ukuthi ikharikhulamu yezwe yezemfundo yezocansi iyimbi kangakanani — futhi ngaleyo ndlela ifuna ushintsho — ngokwenza izibalo ezingenhla zibe ngezabaningi. "Abantu abaningi abazi ukuthi isimo socansi sisesibi kangakanani," kusho u-Hollender.

Okwesibili, lo mkhankaso uqoqa imali ye-Advocates for Youth, inhlangano elwela amalungelo abantu abasha yokuthola imininingwane ethembekile yezempilo yezocansi kanye nokutholakala kwezempilo yezocansi efinyelelekayo, eyimfihlo, futhi engabizi. I-Sustain iqala ngomnikelo ka-$25,000, bese kuthi ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ividiyo yabo yomkhankaso yabelwa i-hashtag ethi #sexpectmore, inkampani izonikela nge-$1 eyengeziwe enhlanganweni. UDitto uya uma uthumela impendulo yombuzo othi "yini ebilahlekile kwimfundo yakho yezocansi?" ku-Instagram, Facebook, noma ku-Twitter (vele ungakhohlwa i-hashtag).

Ekugcineni, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, lo mkhiqizo uzokwethula uhlelo lwawo lwezemfundo yezocansi olunzulu, olungenalo nhlobo, olususelwa empendulweni eqondile evela kule vidiyo yomkhankaso. “Lolu hlelo lwezifundo luzoba yisinyathelo sokuqala emkhankasweni kaSustain wokuhlinzeka ngemfundo yocansi ehlanganisayo, efinyelelekayo, eqhubekayo kubantu bayo yonke iminyaka,” kusho u-Hollender.

Ungalwa Kanjani Nezocansi Eziphelele Ed

Ngaphezu kokwabelana ngevidiyo kaSustain kude nakubanzi, ungasebenzisa ilungelo lakho lokuvota okhethweni lwasekhaya nolwezombusazwe. Ukuphatha kukaMongameli uDonald Trump akugcinanga nje ngokungenzi umsebenzi kaMongameli uBarack Obama wokufundisa kabanzi ngocansi kodwa futhi kwabele izigidi ezingama-75 zamadola ezifundweni zokuzithiba kuphela. Leyo yimali encane eya ohlelweni olungasebenzi (bheka lezo zibalo ngenhla futhi), awucabangi? (Awuqinisekile ukuthi ungabhalisela kanjani ukuvota? Iya lapha.)

Lokho kusho ukuthi, ngenkathi izikole zingathola uxhaso lukahulumeni lwezinhlelo ezithile zokufundisa ngocansi, uMnyango Wezemfundo wase-U.S. Kanye nohulumeni wesifundazwe abanalo izwi lokuthi imfundo yezocansi (noma hlobo luni) iyagunyazwa ezikoleni; lokho okuwela ngaphansi kwegunya lohulumeni basekhaya nohulumeni basekhaya kanye nezifunda zesikole ngokwabo, ngokusho kwe-Advocates for Youth. Nakuba ungekho umthetho okwamanje osekela ucansi oluphelele, kunomthetho osalindile obizwa ngokuthi, I-Real Education for Healthy Youth Act, ozoqinisekisa ukuthi uxhaso lukahulumeni lunikezwa izinhlelo eziphelele zemfundo yezempilo yezocansi ezinikeza intsha amakhono nolwazi oludingayo ukuze lwaziswe. , izinqumo ezibhekelekayo nezinempilo.

Ukukhuthaza imfundo engcono yezocansi endaweni yangakini, unga:

• Xhumana nebhodi lakho lesikole. Bakhuthaze ukuthi badinge izinhlelo eziphelele zezempilo yezocansi futhi bamukele iMigomo Kazwelonke Yezemfundo Yezocansi — imihlahlandlela eyenziwe ngongoti emkhakheni wezempilo yomphakathi kanye nemfundo yezocansi mayelana nokuqukethwe okusemqoka kakhulu namakhono adingekayo ukusiza abafundi ukuthi benze izinqumo ezinolwazi mayelana nempilo yezocansi.
• Joyina Umkhandlu Wokweluleka Ngezempilo Wesikole. Iningi lamabhodi ezikole selulekwa yiSchool Health Advisory Councils (SHACs), aqukethe abantu abamele umphakathi nabanikeza izeluleko ngemfundo yezempilo.
• Xhumana namalungu akho eCongress. Finyelela mathupha, ngocingo, noma nge-inthanethi ukubanxusa ukuthi basekele Umthetho Wentsha Wezempilo Onempilo.
• Cwaninga noma yiziphi izikweletu ezifanele noma imithetho esifundeni sakho. Isibonelo, iNew York State njengamanje ayidingi ukuthi kufundiswe ngocansi ezikoleni. Uma ungumuntu waseNew Yorker, futhi ungasekela i-NY State Assembly Bill A6512, edinga imfundo ephelele yezocansi, ebanzi, futhi enembile ngokwezempilo ezikoleni ze-NYS. Vele uye kule webhusayithi, chofoza okuthi "yebo" ukuze uvote, engeza inothi (uyazikhethela) kulungu lephalamende lesifunda saseNew York, futhi u-ta-da—ngaphansi kwemizuzwana engamashumi ayisithupha, wenze intsha yakusasa iqine. (Nalu uhlu lomthetho wokufundisa ngocansi ngokwezwe.)

Lapho Ungafunda Kabanzi Ngocansi Okwamanje

Ngenkathi ulinde ngesineke ukwethulwa kwemfundo ebanzi yezocansi ka-Sustain, hlola lezi ezinye izinkundla ezisebenzela ukugcwalisa igebe lemfundo yocansi njenge-O.School, OMGYes, Scarleteen, Queer Sex Ed, kanye ne-Afrosexology.

Ukuze waziswe uma isifundo sika-Sustain siba bukhoma, faka i-imeyili yakho lapha.
