Stakeholder Summary >> Saint Lucia, Review Documentation, 37th Session, January 2021

JS2 recommended that Saint Lucia: revise the existing Health and Family Life Education curriculum to bring it in line with United Nations technical guidelines on comprehensive sexuality education; provide on-going and regular training for teachers and providers to ensure content is delivered in a non-judgmental, evidence-based and nonbiased manner which does not reinforce existing cultural, religious or gender stereotype; and remove all barriers to contraceptive access for young people of 16 years and older since the age of consent for sex permitted by law is 16 years, and facilitate intensive provider education about the laws.
