The claim
The UN and WHO reportedly recommend that children should have sexual partners. Schools have now received appropriate instructions on this!
Our conclusion
The fact check shows that the UN and WHO are instead committed to promoting sound and safe sex education to prepare young people for healthy and responsible development.
The Sex Education Guidelines: Claims that have emerged on social media that the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have suggested that children should have sexual partners have been firmly rejected. These organizations had instructed schools to teach children about topics such as masturbation, pornography and homosexuality.
These claims are currently making the rounds in this form and in different languages
UN guidelines misinterpreted
no such instructions ' " International Technical Guide on Sexual Education ", which is used to support these allegations . The guide is a comprehensive document at 139 pages, but the quote claimed on social media cannot be found in it.
Results of the review
The results of this review clearly show that the allegations are unfounded. WHO clarified that the guide is based on sound scientific evidence from around the world and is intended to support education and health professionals in the development and implementation of sexuality education programs. The aim of these programs is to prepare young people for safe, informed and responsible sexuality.
No promotion of masturbation

Misleading interpretations

As an example, a sentence from the report is given on page 16 of the document. The statement that Comprehensive Sexuality Education (ISE) aims to teach various aspects of sexuality is misrepresented as a call to promote sexual relationships between children.
Origin of the misinformation
