Since around 2014, lawmakers at the federal, state, and municipal levels in Brazil have introduced over 200 legislative proposals prohibiting gender and sexuality education in schools under the guise of protecting children and adolescents from “gender ideology” and “indoctrination".
Background: Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) plays a critical role in promoting youth and adolescent’s sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing. However, little is known about the enablers and barriers afecting the integration of CSE into educational programmes.

Teachers, and their professional learning and development, have been identified as playing an integral role in enabling children and young people’s right to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE).
