The briefing document aims to bring to the fore ways in which our faith communities are involved in adolescent sexual and reproductive health. It exemplifies the training methods we use to empower adolescents to live healthy lives and live in respectful relationships. Through these examples, the document explains how our beliefs, values and teachings are key in adolescents’ sexuality education. It reminds us that our faith, teachings and beliefs are meant to provide a framework for adolescents to navigate through life’s concerns. Further, this guidance does not stop with religious teachings of adolescents but moves towards advancing the need for our communities to reflect more and more on the concept of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), and especially the emphasis that we should make regarding age and content appropriate information for our young people.
