Comprehensive Sex Ed
Happening Now
Issues:
NIRH and NIRH Action Fund pay a vital role in the New York State-wide coalition for comprehensive sex-education, and function as its lead administrative organizers along with our partners at Girls for Gender Equity. Under the bill, the State Department of Education establishes statewide learning standards, model curricula, and training resources for comprehensive health education.
Since starting this work in 2023, NIRH and the coalition have organized over 100 lobby meetings with legislators, conducted in-depth polling and message-testing about sex-education in New York, and grown our coalition by dozens of grassroots and youth organizations. Our plan is to continue this advocacy and pass this bill in the very near future.
