Gender-Affirming Care and Comprehensive Sexuality Education.

Every year, an estimated 246 million children are subject to some form of gender-based violence, including mistreatment, bullying, psychological abuse, and sexual harassment. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, or questioning youth are at a heightened risk of experiencing violence and have unique health, educational, and social needs. Fostering an atmosphere of support and acceptance can help alleviate many of these negative outcomes.
