Sharon Slater, President of Family Watch International, spoke<\/a> at the United Nations Transatlantic Summit earlier this month to shed light on the pressure being placed on African nations to implement comprehensive sexual education for children that includes a right to sexual pleasure and abortion.<\/p>\n

Slater began by noting that the United Nations facilitated the creation of nine core human rights treaties, along with human rights mechanisms, to monitor member states’ compliance with those treaties. One of the treaties is The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which Slater discussed.<\/p>\n

Committee on the Rights of the Child<\/h3>\n

The CRC established a Committee on the Rights of the Child to monitor compliance, which issued comments that included a child’s ‘right’ to “sexual and reproductive freedom,” “confidential counseling… without parental or legal consent,” and “sexual education… without the permission of a parent.” These comments from the monitoring committee go against the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Slater explained, which states that “parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.”<\/p>\n

According to Slater, this committee also recommended specifically to Mozambique that it should “ensure girls’ access to … abortion” despite the fact that the preamble of the CRC states that children have “legal protection, before as well as after birth.”<\/p>\n

The committee also issued a comment stating that a child “has a right to preserve their identity and this identity can include their sexual identification.”<\/p>\n
