Si va consolidando il consenso sull'importanza dell'educazione sessuale rivolta a giovani e fanciulli, anche attraverso la previsione di specifici programmi educativi nelle scuole, ma il dibattito sui contenuti dell'educazione sessuale stessa rimane acceso. Si confrontano infatti diverse impostazioni, fondate su diverse concezioni della sessualità. Affrontando il tema da una prospettiva etico-giuridica, di particolare interesse risulta l'analisi del documento proposto dall'Ufficio regionale per l'Europa dell'OMS (Standard per l'educazione sessuale in Europa), che nell'affrontare la questione fa riferimento a controverse categorie, che meritano un adeguato approfondimento. Questo contributo intende allora evidenziare l'equivocità di alcuni concetti (salute sessuale e riproduttiva, diritti sessuali e riproduttivi, violenza di genere) utilizzati nel documento dell'OMS, per mettere in luce le implicazioni che un'adesione acritica a queste proposte comporterebbe.
----------
There is growing consensus on the importance of sexuality education, also through the provision of specific programs in schools aimed at young people and children, but the debate on it is still in progress, because of different educational settings based on diverse concepts of sexuality. Addressing the issue from an ethical and legal perspective, particularly interesting is the analysis of the document proposed by the WHO Regional Office for Europe (Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe), for its reliance on controversial models, which deserves thorough examination. This paper will highlight the ambiguity of some concepts (sexual and reproductive health, sexual and reproductive rights, gender based violence) used in the WHO document, in order to emphasize the implications of an uncritical adherence to these proposals.
