The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities. CSA is also not uniformly defined, so statistics may vary. Statistics below represent some of the research done on child sexual abuse.

This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.

It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

What does it mean to respect the dignity of a human being? What sort of support do human capacities demand from the world, and how should we think about this support when we encounter differences of gender or sexuality? How should we think about each other across divisions that a legacy of injustice has created?

This is an issue that always bothered me because I never understood why people fight against it so hard. If you don't like something it doesn't mean you have to participate in it. If you are against gay marriage then gay marriage doesn't apply to you. It's not like you will be forced to marry someone of the same gender it simply means that everyone, as stated in the constitution, receives their basic human rights. It doesn't mean you have to like it but you should at least respect the lives of other individuals who have been on the receiving end of discrimination for decades.

Celebration for the unpaid interns who now will not only be protected from sexual harassment but will be getting minimum wage. New York University and Columbia University expect there internes to be protected and paid even if they have to make a more stringent approval process or stop undergraduate registration credits.

The American focus on the sexual purpose of breasts, rather than the physiological function of breasts, has serious public health consequences. Discomfort with breastfeeding in public lowers breastfeeding rates, which in turn negatively affects women's and children's short- and long-term health.

Psychologist found that girls who were sexualized while little, had a negative view of themselves when they got older. They developed all kind of self esteem issues. Many parents and grandparents were outraged at the way some mothers dressed their child up in the pageants.

The lack of justice in child's claim of sexual abuse. Court looking for physical proof not believing child over adult. Parental Alienation Syndrome instead of justice.

I like this website because the article is short and on point. It's also well organized

This article is describing and explaining homophobia and how to come out if it something a person is struggling with. It shows the struggle and complications that a person can face.

It's scary how real this is! The way that homophobic people bully the LGBT community whether it be direct or indirect. This is good site to read on how you can help stop homophobia.

Sexual choice is a personal and private preference of each individual.

Books have been banned throughout all of history, and are still being censored in America. Some of the reasons why are due to sexual content, violence, and profanity.

This day and age women are redefining themselves in the workplace and world, but one set back that is always occurring is the act of rape. Colleges, women and children, are taught from a young age about rape and the causes. It is unfortunate these statistics are accurate and that women are more often to blame themselves and feel as if they have no where to go to seek help.

I enjoyed this website. I feel strongly about justice for rape. It really is eye opening when you see such statistics displayed visually for one to see. Thank you for sharing.

The fear over elementary schoolers learning sex ed reveals some serious issues with the way we approach sexuality. Some think that by teaching kids about sex ed they are going to become "impure."
