World Health Organization Ripped over ‘Early Childhood’ Sex Ed Teaching ‘Masturbation’ and ‘Gender Identities’

Susan Berry, PhD

The World Health Organization (WHO) is drawing fire throughout Europe for continuing its Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) guidance that recommends children under four years of age be taught “enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s own body, early childhood masturbation,” and “the right to explore gender identities.”

The “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe,” first published in 2010 by the WHO, the global health organization of the United Nations, is being challenged by various pro-family organizations concerned about the sexualization of young children, as the Daily Mail reported.

The uproar comes a week in advance of consideration by the World Health Assembly of the WHO’s amendments to the International Health Regulations that could surrender future U.S. and global emergency authority during public health crises to the WHO Director-General.

Tanya Carter, a spokeswoman for the UK’s Safe Schools Alliance, has demanded an “urgent enquiry” into whether there is a link between the sex-ed curriculum in her country and the guidance issued by UN organizations such as the WHO and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

“An urgent inquiry is needed into how this ideology… has come to influence so much public thinking,” Carter said, according to The Telegraph.

“A WHO spokesman told The Telegraph the organisation stands by its guidance and it remains accessible,” the news outlet reported. “The spokesman added: ‘Our guidelines reflect established psychological facts about children’s understanding of their bodies and psychosocial development based on decades of research.’”

Dr. Robert Malone tweeted about the WHO’s CSE agenda, “This is deeply perverted.”

In a column published May 10 at The Federalist, attorney and education researcher Jane Robbins wrote evidence of the left’s push toward “social and legal approval of pedophilia” was recently shown in a report by the International Commission of Jurists, which joined two other UN agencies – UNAIDS, the UN program on HIV and AIDS, and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) – to “advocate [that] ‘consensual’ sex between adults and minors be decriminalized.”

Stop CSE (Comprehensive Sexuality Education), a website created by Family Watch International, the UN Family Rights Caucus, Protect Child Health Coalition, and the Stop the Kinsey Institute, posted the WHO’s “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe.”

Standards include the following:

For Children Age 0-4 years:

“Give information about enjoyment and pleasure when touching one’s body . . . masturbation”

“Enable children to gain an awareness of gender identity”

“Give the right to explore gender identities”

For Children Age 4-6 years:

“Give information about early childhood masturbation”

“Give information about same-sex relationships”

“Give information about . . . different concepts of a family”

“Help children develop respect for different norms regarding sexuality”

The WHO also works with other UN agencies, such as UNESCO, which published its own guidance, sponsored by the WHO, and titled “International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education” in 2018.

The guidance states:

CSE contributes to gender equality by building awareness of the centrality and diversity of gender in people’s lives; examining gender norms shaped by cultural, social and biological differences and similarities; and by encouraging the creation of respectful and equitable relationships based on empathy and understanding. The integration of a gender perspective throughout CSE curricula is integral to the effectiveness of CSE programmes”

“Sexuality is linked to power,” UNESCO states. “The ultimate boundary of power is the possibility of controlling one’s own body. CSE can address the relationship between sexuality, gender and power, and its political and social dimensions.”

Additionally, UNESCO notes that skills taught in CSE “can help children and young people form respectful and healthy relationships with family members, peers, friends and romantic or sexual partners.”

International agencies such as the WHO and UNESCO have partnered with other organizations to promote radical CSE in the United States as well.

In June 2021, UNESCO and the WHO urged all “countries to make every school a health-promoting school,” by including “comprehensive sexuality education,” which, the agencies claim, “encourages the adoption of healthier behaviours, promotes sexual and reproductive health and rights, and improves sexual and reproductive health outcomes such as the reduction of HIV infection and adolescent pregnancy rates.”

UNESCO also has recommended International Planned Parenthood Foundation’s (IPPF) framework for CSE as a resource.

Like the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, IPPF promotes abortion and gender ideology in its CSE curricula.

Monica Cline, who, before her conversion, had been trained by Planned Parenthood as a sex educator, told The Star News Network regardless of whether the WHO influenced America or vice versa, she is certain Planned Parenthood has been leading the CSE cause internationally through IPPF:

Planned Parenthood’s push for birth control pills began to change people’s values and behaviors as they could now separate sex from reproduction leading to pleasure-only sex, sans marriage.  The HIV/AIDS epidemic added fuel to promoting sex education further and we saw a great increase in governmental funding of sex education in America, and internationally, which was managed by the World Health Organization. Many countries, especially in Africa, were told they would not get financial assistance unless they accepted sex education led by WHO.  But what does this have to do with the sexualization of children and infants?  Sex education is prolific and seeks to sexualize all ages in order to change the values, beliefs and behaviors of generations of people, and Planned Parenthood and WHO know that they can make lasting social change by targeting the minds and hearts of children.

IPPF also condemns pro-life pregnancy care centers, claiming they spread “misinformation.”

“This document focuses on comprehensive sexuality education that promotes and considers the sexual and reproductive rights of young people, especially those living with HIV,” UNESCO wrote about IPPF’s framework. “The report favours a framework of sexuality education that also deals with the needs of young people in order to promote an all-inclusive educational agenda.”

UNESCO added IPPF’s framework for CSE “informs the development of new policies and curricula and creates opportunities for building new partnerships with external agencies working in this area.”

“The report examines what constitutes a useful framework of comprehensive sexuality education, focusing particularly on: seven essential components including gender, sexual and reproductive health, sexual citizenship, pleasure, violence, diversity and relationships; basic principles of good practice,” UNESCO claimed.

Cline disagrees with IPPF’s message.

“We have hit rock bottom when as a society we see world leaders attempting to sexualize infants and children while creating barriers against parents from protecting their own children,” she asserted.
