Supporting the goals and ideals of the month of May as Sex Ed For All Month: Equity and Access for All.
HRES 445 is a non-binding resolution designating May as "Sex Ed For All Month" to promote comprehensive sex education. It urges public officials, schools, and health organizations to prioritize evidence-based programs that address racial and gender inequities, reduce unintended pregnancies and STIs, and support all young people - including LGBTQ+ youth and those with disabilities. The resolution emphasizes that inclusive sex education delays sexual activity, increases contraceptive use, and fosters healthy relationships, citing research on its benefits. As a symbolic statement, it does not create new laws or allocate funds but calls for action to ensure equitable access to medically accurate, culturally responsive education.
