Abstract

Abstract Despite the international, regional and national commitments to sexuality education and the evidence of its effectiveness, progress on national implementation of sexuality education has been slow for a variety of reasons. The obstacles to comprehensive sexuality education are well documented and commonly experienced, yet the knowledge base of successful strategies to deal with resistance remain limited. This study evaluated Nigeria’s experience in creating an enabling environment for and addressing backlash to the Family Life and HIV Education (FLHE) programme; the findings reveal that FLHE supporters used both proactive and reactive strategies, whilst also making concessions and compromises to ensure the acceptance of the programme in various states of the country. These practical examples from Nigeria may inspire other countries in the planning, implementation and scale-up phases of their own CSE programmes, especially in settings where socio-cultural barriers pose challenges.
承诺、让步和妥协。尼日利亚为性教育建立支持和解决抵制性教育的经验
尽管国际、地区和国家对性教育做出了承诺,并有证据表明其有效性,但由于种种原因,国家实施性教育的进展缓慢。全面的性教育的障碍是有据可查的,也是大家都经历过的,然而,关于处理抵制的成功策略的知识基础仍然有限。本研究评估了尼日利亚在为家庭生活和艾滋病毒教育(FLHE)方案创造有利环境和解决反对意见方面的经验;调查结果显示,FLHE的支持者既采取了主动战略,也采取了被动战略,同时也做出了让步和妥协,以确保该计划在该国各个州得到接受。尼日利亚的这些实际例子可能会激励其他国家在规划、实施和扩大本国CSE方案的阶段,特别是在社会文化障碍构成挑战的环境中。
