Descripción del taller

• Los movimientos conservadores han tenido embates discursivos en contra de la educación sexual y los derechos sexuales en los últimos años; especialmente se han difundido argumentos que aparentan estar basados en la ciencia y los derechos humanos, información que fomenta el miedo de la población a la pérdida del orden social, y su con concepto de “ideología de género”, que les ha permitido acusar a los gobiernos como si estuvieran violentando las libertades e imponiendo falsas creencias. Estos argumentos han logrado tener efectos en sumar aliados a sus demandas e influir para obstaculizar leyes en materia de matrimonio igualitario, acuerdos de paz y el reconocimiento del derecho a la identidad de género.
• Objetivo: generar estrategias de acción para defender la educación sexual laica a partir de la reflexión sobe los fundamentos de la laicidad educativa en sexualidad y el análisis de las estrategias de los grupos conservadores.
• Método: Se trabajará a través de ejercicios participativos de análisis de teoría, discursos, marco normativo y planificación, así como una exposición
