Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government on Tuesday released an animated short film on sex education among children. It was released on the Facebook page of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The film ‘Ami, Adi ℅ Sanju, Manju’ was made by the Integrated Child Development Scheme and Women and Child Development Department with the message to begin the first lessons of sex education from the home itself.

In his Facebook post, CM said that the unscientific misconceptions over sexuality will hinder the idea of gender equality and the evolution of robust male-female relationships. Therefore, modern society demands to provide scientific sex education for the upcoming generations, he said.

The short film urges the parents to give proper answers to the questions raised by their children instead of evading them. Otherwise, the children may reach out to unfavourable sources seeking the answers for their doubts and forming faulty conceptions over sexuality, reproduction and even their own body.
