ultra chance to go to school. we ask why. because education makes the world more just. to make up your own mind. g.w. made for mines. in poland a bitter debate is raging over the issue of sexuality. because i will not allow aggressive sex education into our schools while they're here legally challenge new motion no government can take away our right to sex education and our right to house they all get was the sex education of young poles as at stake sexual minorities are under threat. of homosex so i use she does not share train

sexual czar often involves any pedophile excesses but a few still. at pride events there are increasing outbreaks of violence what we're experiencing is not only a fight for young people it's about the health and safety of all of us. foresaw the winter of 21000. between your quote shave i was about to finish school it's an era which is meant to prepare her for adult life. for victoria this also includes sex education day and there is practically no sex education in poland

and the educational work done by n.g.o.s is about to be banned this is threatening young people because they simply don't get the knowledge that they need to jump on me at. the top of your list together with her parents her 12 year old sister olivia and their dog in the north of warsaw. victoria's mother was the one who told her the facts of life. sex education in school is optional in poland and is steeped in the views of the catholic church. is an american but we haven't really come to that i remember how contraception methods were taught in school. guess what was the best method of contraception the menstrual calendar of course 100 percent effective

yes and look how many girls got pregnant in your class. don't ask in my high school . nobody showed us how to put on a condom either but thank god there were instructions in a packet of directs so he said you will see us. victorio sister or d.v.r. is in the 5th grade and attends the sex education classes organized by the state the optional subject is called preparation for family life and is offered from the 4th grade upwards. the school books which are officially allowed mostly concentrate on the teaching of catholic sexual values no masturbation no homosexuality had no sex outside of relationships usually when someone has driven only by their emotions and sexual desires then he or she is acting against their own happiness so that

means if you have sex because you enjoy it you're automatically a bad person and acting against your own happiness unbelievable well the teaching book is only about preparation for marriage and not having sex i think it's disgraceful it's not up to anyone else when i'm allowed to have sex. since the sex education classes didn't have the answers to her questions she asked for a book which has been creating a stir since it appeared in poland. sex ed p l offers teenagers information on sex that they can't find in the usual school books but everything is described here from the structure of a penis to the female body and all types of contraception that see. a lot of it is when the frustration i think it's good that i know these things.

then when i'm that age i will be put pads. since the end of $21000.00 men a draft bill has been discussed in parliament which will de facto criminalize the sex education of minors. a massive protest is building up against the draft bill. up to now schools have been able to act on their own initiative and invite n.g.o.s him to give liberal sex education workshops. the law is threatening to overturn this. supermodel on your group it is on the front line of the demonstrations motion that night i don't like now no government can take away our rights to sex education and all right to health. leaders think about that. for many youngsters the

supermodel is an idol for others she's a trouble maker. started the legal initiative with a petition that's already been signed by over 260000 poles. when and whether the law will come into force it's not clear. hopes for speedy success because it disturbs him that sex is spoken about so openly in the liberal sex education classes for poland schools. all. sex education has to take place in a safe environment. that's why parents are the best suited to it was on him. such issues do not belong in school. come up

the father of 3 set up the foundation to life a group of radical anti-abortionist. for 20 years he has fought against anything that could endanger the catholic nuclear family his latest enemy is liberal sex education. he wants to outlaw the work of n.g.o.s offering sex education in accordance with w.h.o. standards there is one. of those on dogma. these so-called n.g.o.s send young people into our schools and claim that they are working on prevention. but in truth they are telling the children that masturbation is ok. and that sexual intercourse is fine irrespective of age as long as the partner agrees. that is like encouraging children to go into

prostitution. jeta jobs his foundation often publishes leaflets condemning the sex education and other even states. who are. here. i have a guide for protecting children from pedophiles. we describe the sex education excesses of other countries. here we have some photos from a sex education book for 5 year olds in germany. as a concept for in our brochure we show the consequences of such sex education yes. it is that children are exposed to the danger of pedophilia. and this is the sex education the l.g.b. t.

lobby wants to introduce in our schools. believes that the portrayal of sexual acts and teaching books will drive children into the hands of pedophiles equates with homosexuals. in a village of $1500.00 in the east of poland is one of the around $100.00 places which have declared themselves an elegy bt free zone since $21000.00. this is where elite session let's. all top of them got to us so. for a while now i felt a kind of a version towards me that people don't want to talk to me that they look away or look at me strangely. when one of her former teachers in the village found out that i was gay at least your started getting mail from her

regularly. when i caught some of the so i think my teacher sent me all these links to radium area studies about homosexuality they were always about how you can be healed that it's a sin and that you're not allowed to live like that. let's hear ignored her teacher's attempts to convert her. the 19 year old lives with her parents and 2 brothers they didn't want to be filmed or say anything about her coming out. if walk out i remember that i cried a lot although i rarely cry i tried to tell myself that it's impossible that i will

be straight and just have to wait until it's all over but that article shows a touch of us folks into. the 1st person she told was her mother and will e.c.s. closest to and who supports her in everything. unlike her father and right wing conservative brother. when you still love them the lot when you come and go we avoid the issue like the devil avoids holy water we can talk about everything but this part of my life is to bring back in time the. elites here found support in the l.g.b. t.q. scene and learn to be open about her sexuality. this can be dangerous. such. as gay pride and bialystok last year she experienced homophobic hatred at close quarters.

of them spoke of i experienced awful trauma in bialystok when i hear noises from back then tea has come into my eyes and i get a shiver down my spine. in the. book it was the 1st time i experienced such physical violence. around 800 participants of the gay pride parade were bombarded with stones and fireworks but the police just barely managed to stop things from getting worse. i am the the. climate of fear and it isn't just outraged hooligans and nationalists whipping it up but politicians in the church too. there are no legal consequences of such as

in leeds he is a village being in a so-called free zone but it does mean a targeted exclusion of sexual minorities. in the capital warsaw which has a gay deputy mayor this would still be unthinkable. victoria's on her way to upon time group conference when invited into schools the ngo carries out sex education workshops but nobody knows how much longer this will still be possible. victoria has been asked to report from a teenager's perspective thank you you're welcome thing. the whole thing is for. activists and sex educators have come to the conference from all over poland on stage be tory explains why she wants to get involved. which

they have. to the subject has interested me since i was in 4th grade and i was also shocked at how bad the sex education was the moment. that some of that m.p.'s should be tory is great idol has also flown in from new york. the supermodel publish the book sex as an alternative to poland school books. on the day after the draft bill was 1st read in parliament the book was number one on the bestseller lists we all know. the was you know you can tell people panicked because they thought the book would be banned. they ran into the shops and bought 567 copays. it's better to have negative p.r. the nun that so. many many thanks to all of you.

after the panel discussion the 2 women talk about their experiences. i can learn a lot from victoria but. when she was speaking on the panel i was really amazed how smartly and confidently she speaks. in some believe will that she is still at school. sex education has a huge influence on. our openness it helps us to understand ourselves and other people better and to stay healthy. i think without sex education a country cannot be equal and tolerance and no mess and you can see sex want it now. ok so i

think it was also. offers victoria a job in the social media team of her campaign. but if the draft bill comes into force initiatives like on your rubik's sex ed will struggle in the future. to be tory i will also have to find new ways of campaigning for more sex education . but it. was sex educator such as all our dual us in our new york will be directly affected. the 2 have been offering progressive sex education in schools and poland's 3rd largest city for 10 years this could be over soon this law means that anyone who talks to minors about sexuality could be in danger because any conversation could be interpreted as persuading the minors to engage in sex.

they're not the only ones affected by the law psychologists or doctors would be impacted to. issues that if this law comes into force in its current form or an even stricter version people like us could be threatened with up to 3 years in prison for me personally that means that i will no longer offer any more sex education to those under 18. both of the sex educators are getting fewer and fewer inquiries many head teachers are already uncertain. but their sex education is available online they regularly produce videos for their you tube channel. if you don't think you know. that this is the school ok let's go with a greeting writes thank you cards yes just say hello today we're going to answer

all of your questions something like that ok. welcome to edge you 6 q. and a video with and yes and. jim and unions and to me today is all about vibrators and orgasms. and we're going to talk about female ejaculate you want to. talk about love because since we know a lot about 6 you have your doubts about whether we understand love. great well done. a lot of this is. for their video but 2 of them also carry out a survey in the pedestrian zone of. the world hello can you tell us what is your definition of love you watched.

can you do love and sex always belong together. unfortunately not sex is an important part of our life and you can definitely separate the 2. but almost no you didn't tell me your hello can you tell us what is your definition of love this is love. i just tried to do is that do you think that love and sex always belong together. this is the numbers of us who are i think so. sex is an important part of relationships. and it's better if both parts work well live aren't really new that can happen after new haji today or it's not about loving a man or a woman but about loving a person. with my daughter is very tolerant love is for everybody even when men love men or women love women and. the point politicians tell us that we are from the backwoods and we shouldn't talk

about it or unsettled people with the issue of sexuality. but the average person on the street falls in love starts a relationship and of course they have sex. and they want to have good sex i mean i think that we poles are much less afraid of the issue of sex than people think most of us and it. is the majority of the polish population really more liberal in the way or the conservative people like madea's job ski think. he and his fellow campaigners are driving around polish towns in this van rallying against sex education and the l.g.b. t.q. community. or we have the police the scotoma bull. i have the impression that our campaign is having an effect. there's less and less resistance and more people are showing their support just because we own people but . there are always some who don't like it.

on the van it says what does the l g b t lobby want to teach our children. the time choose dawei. we want to show the parents the truth. and what is being trivialized by the mass media is only damaging our children from pics of the lodge e.g. the us. hear these quotations on the van show the standards of sex education in europe. 4 year olds are being encouraged to masturbate. and 6 year olds to agree to sex school 9 year olds are being encouraged to have sex and. don't get through the polish people have no idea what is really happening or lots. of tim.

this isn't in the w.h.o. guidelines for sex education that modern use just he claims to be referring to. from. an early september elite's he travels to help with other activists a small town in the so called l g b t free zone. they want to put a stop to the prejudice which prevails there. but. they want to show people that the community is neither a threat nor abnormal but the mission is not without danger. until yesterday i was pretty calm because i didn't think there would be any particular groups who could hamas but then i spoke to

a friend who knows the region well and he said that there is a right wing group of hooligans in the area who would be sure to seek a sound they are ultra right wing hooligans we're always afraid with everything we do. motivates us to if i want to fraid i wouldn't be active. they reach out and their buses immediately accompanied by a police escort towards the marketplace. those are the guys. until they halt i don't know i can only see their noses. q friendly initiatives are an absolute exception here and only possible with massive police protection. around 60 police officers will protect and or group today. because.

this is the best spot for the tables on the sort of. things that we always anticipate some kind of counter-demonstration or aggressive reactions. that's why we're in constant contact with the police. under the skeptical eyes of the local residents the 1st curious visitors approach the stand. by talking to the local citizens the group want to dispel the government's allegations that the l.g.b. teach you community is an attack on polish values. their message is that love is love. can we buy these bags that. you can take them with you and carry them with pride i will use them for shopping super we're pretty happy about that but. that was

in my head there is always the thought and a sense of guilt that this person could get beaten up later just for carrying my rainbow bag these things do happen unfortunately. but. a lot of young people come to visit the stand. it's brave of them because especially in small towns the initiatives are under very close observation. 3 streets away their actions could be punished or used them that would you i really admire the fact that they have dared to come out and show themselves it was the week was just it was the only vishwas little thing in the was meat loaf this was stan was all set the load l g b t people from these places often don't even know about each other that's why we

come here to encourage them and to give them hope for a better future so they can have solidarity together we want to show them that we are referee where and we are real people to. most of the residents avoid the camera t.v. . the few who are willing to speak are in support of the initially. you are the banks eat your food yet people believe it's ridiculous that there is such a thing as free zones. we should be ashamed that such a thing exists because the people who look what we've all heard about after around 4 hours they pack up their stand. she gushed. you can see how important these campaigns are although we are tired we are motivated to carry on the way about.

the tory has finished all her school leaving exams and moved into her own flat 2 months ago her 13 year old sister olivia visits her regularly. so are you already thinking about boys and relationships are not yet ready. i'm still single. biggest of all. well let's i'm wishing for a perfect boy. perfect. working course not just the 1st boy who comes along but one with prospects ok ok good. i'm still too young to have a boyfriend and be making out. some of the things just. after her social media chopping on your rubik's sex education campaign 18 year old victoria has new goals she wants to go into politics and bring about longterm

change in her country. i dream of a poland where everyone can feel safe. that every person who is growing up has given knowledge about their own body. that everyone knows how to use contraception . but with our government now that is not going to happen. things will only change when our generation comes to power. because we have quite different views from our parents and grandparents but often the most of. them are the morning the follow on the fact that she did their special job call via. whether the bill against liberal sex education will come into force is still uncertain. polish youth are hoping that their protests will be a success this time. babies
