What to Teach in Sex Education

Workshop with TELL Japan

In this engaging and informative workshop hosted by TELL Japan (a nonprofit providing mental health support and education), Dr. June Low breaks down what comprehensive sex education really means and why it matters. With a background in public health, law, and over a decade of teaching experience, Dr. Low explains that sex ed isn’t just about anatomy or reproduction - it’s about equipping young people with the knowledge, values, and confidence to make informed decisions.

She introduces a human rights approach - rooted in dignity, inclusion, and cultural relevance. This covers topics often left out of traditional sex ed like consent, pleasure, gender identity, online safety, and pornography. Dr. Low also shares stories from her classroom, showing how students grow into thoughtful, self-aware young adults when given the space to learn without shame. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or simply curious, this talk offers a practical and compassionate roadmap for supporting kids in today’s complex world.
