Some of that attention was on writing a piece for RH Reality Check about creating and implementing effective sex education programs about sexual assault and rape. A recent New York Times piece mulling over whether it is more appropriate to target education in gender-specific ways (i.e., for men how not ...

"Mum," said Jack. "We're starting sex education this week at school." He looked at me smirking. "Is there anything you want to tell me before school does?" I giggled childishly: "Mum you are three times my age, stop giggling." "OK... hm... well - you shouldn't have sex with someone you don't love." ...
