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 yet. say 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. right here in america we're going to be looked into 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 yesteryear. victorio sister olivia is in the 5th grade and attends the sex education classes organized by the state. the optional subject is called the 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 what 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 the penis to the female body and all types of contraception see. this is why enough. i think it's good that i know these things. then when i'm that age i will be put

pads that are. since the end of 2019 a draft bill has been discussed in parliament which will defacto 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 energy goes into good 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 of the night i don't like now no government can take away our rights to sex education and all right to hell so why not leave thinking about. for many youngsters the

supermodel is an idol for others she's a trouble maker. model used the start of the legal initiative with a petition that's already been signed by over 260000 poles. when and whether the law will come into force is not clear. judge judge ski 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. for sex education has to take place in a safe environment. that's why parents are the best suited to act on him. such issues do not belong in school. come up.

the father of 3 set up the foundation pro right 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 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 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 our village of 1500 in the east of poland is one of around 100 places which have declared themselves an l g b t free zone since 21000. this is where. lives. also on the line got to us for our. 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. went on to try to cut some of us so as. my teacher sent me all these links to radium area studies about homosexuality they were always about how you can be healed but 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. on the enzymes and bottles of all got it 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 it took it's going to folks say 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. in the middle still love them the mother only 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 be in the confab 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. at gay pride and bialystok last year she experienced homophobic hatred a close quarters. spoke of i experienced

awful trauma and be honest when i hear noises from back then t. has come into my eyes and i get a shiver down my spine. was. the. it was the 1st time i experienced such physical violence off that. around $800.00 participants of the gay pride parade were bombarded with stones and fireworks. the police just barely managed to stop things from getting worse. a climate of fear and it isn't just outraged hooligans and nationalists whipping it up but politicians and the church too. there are no legal consequences of

elites he is a village being in a so-called l g b t 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 a pantani group conference when invited into schools the ngo carries out sex education workshops but nobody knows how much longer this will still be possible. be toria has been asked to report from a teenager's perspective thank you you're welcome thing. and the thing is for the 2 year activists and sex educators have come to the conference from all over poland on stage be tory explains why she wants to get involved i think it will start the just play of the course so we're all the subject

has interested me since i was in 4th grade and i was also shocked at how bad the sex education was the mindset. of. that it's a look at m.p.'s should be tory has great idol has also flown in from new york. the supermodel publish the book sex ed p. . as an alternative to poland schoolbooks. move on the day off to the draft bill was 1st read in parliament the book was number one on the bestseller lists we all know that it was coming down to people panicked because they thought the book would be banned. they ran into the shops and bought 567 cup pace. it's better to have negative p.r. the nun that so in my mind the man behind. many many thanks to all of you.

after the panel discussion the 2 women talk about their experiences. have them about their recent outreach not to be thought. i could learn a lot from victoria. 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 others sex education has a huge influence on our openness it helps us to understand ourselves and other people better and to stay healthy but i think without sex education a country cannot be equal and tolerate. the mess and who gets the sex who want it now. the case i

think it was also. there are no real big offers victoria a job in the social media team of her campaign. but if the draft bill comes into force initiatives like on yahoo picks sex ed piece will struggle in the future. will also have to find new ways of campaigning for more sex education. the if. sex educator such as all are dual us in our new york will be directly affected. the 2 have been offering progressive sex education in schools in 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 which are 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 that is good. for. this is with the school ok let's go with the greeting rights activist. yes just say hello today we're going to answer all of your questions something like that ok

. welcome to and you 6 q. and a video with. jim and unions and to me today is a lot about vibrators and orgasms. and we're going to talk about female ejaculate and want to ellen is actually about love because since we know a lot about sex 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 girl hello can you tell us what is your definition of love you washed.

it in you to 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 didn't show me one 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 now of and sex always belong together. was just that was of a few. i think so. sex is an important part of relationships. and it's better if both parts work well live on our knees reading it like nothing i've been here for you today or it's not about loving a man or a woman but about loving a person. my daughter is very tolerant love is for everybody even when men love men or women love women and. the point that the politicians tell us that we're 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 think that we poles are much less afraid of the issue of sex than people think that us and it. is the majority of the polish population really more liberal in the way or the conservative people like madea's jet 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. who do not believe this goes on the full. i have the impression that our campaign is having an effect. there's less and less resistance and more people are showing their support for difficulty on 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 timeshares dollar. we want to show the parents the truth. and what is being trivialized by the mass media this is only damaging our children like not from the acts of the luggage for us. here 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. 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 model use job ski claims to be referring to. in early september 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 l g b t q 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 thomas 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 went to fraid i wouldn't be active. they reach down 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. l.g.b. t.q. friendly initiatives are an absolute exception here and only possible with massive police protection. around 60 police officers will protect and her group today. was. the. last stop this is

the best spot for the tables exposed on the set of one of the murders of affairs editor matt as the say we always anticipate some kind of counter-demonstration or aggressive reactions that's why we're in constant contact with the police but it's . under the skeptical eyes of the local residents the 1st curious visitors approached the stand. by talking to the local citizens the group want to dispel the government's allegations that the l g b t q community is an attack on polish values. their message is that love is law. can we buy these bags that was not. even take them with you and carry them with primates i will use them for shopping super we're pretty happy about that.

that was in my head there is always the thought and a sense of guilt that this person could get beat not just for carrying my rainbow bag these things do happen unfortunately. rather. 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 coming up would you i really admire the fact that they have dared to come out and show themselves it was . just looks like she was the only fish down was. the was really was this was still was all set up. 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. meet the few who are willing to speak are in support of the initiative you are leaving feed your kids yet people think it's ridiculous that there is such a thing as a free zones we should be ashamed that such a thing exists that people will be vocal. that after around 4 hours they pack up their stand. she gushed. and you can see how important these campaigns are although we are tired we are motivated to carry on. 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 or not yeah right yes i'm still single. well i think that i'm wishing for a perfect boy or a bunch of them in the queue a 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. after her social media chomping on your rubik's sex education campaign 18 year old victoria has new goals she wants to go into politics and bring about long term

change in her country might help or so. 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 born in the fall on the fact that she did call here whether the bill against liberal sex education will come into force is still uncertain. 2 polish youth are hoping that their protests will be a success this time. played . the latest trend if you
