Backgroud:
UNFPA works across the Asia-Pacific region to ensure adolescents and youth have access to age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education in and out-of-school settings. Doing so equips young people with essential information and skills to have healthy relationships, promote gender-equitable social norms (including positive masculinity), and make informed decisions about their body and rights.
Young people increasingly turn to online spaces, social media, digital technologies and other platforms for information about sexual and reproductive health, gender equality, and other issues. Their knowledge, attitudes, and norms are increasingly influenced or ‘made’ in these digital spaces that were not originally designed to provide comprehensive health information. However, current digital SRHR work is often narrow, focusing primarily on informational websites, mHealth apps, or referrals to service delivery. Furthermore, the rise of generative AI – also increasingly used by youth for health information and emotional companionship—presents an urgent, unstudied area with direct implications for how young people form attitudes around intimacy, consent, and sexuality.
