We start from the idea that a good sexual education will prevent behaviors related to gender violence and for this we establish the following objectives: 1-Identify what content, what frequency and what quality have sexual education programs destined to young people (13-18). 2-Carry out a research which will show that effective sex education prevents sexist violence. 3-Develop a guide of good practices about health and affective-sexual rights of young people. 4-Develop an identification plan that includes all those macho attitudes related to sexist violence. 5-Establish a prevention and action manual that explains what to do in case such attitudes appear. 6-Train formal and non-formal teaching professionals. 7-Establish a support and information program for families in the area of sexual education. 8-Involve young people in the realization, application and conclusion of materials. 9-Integrate young people in the promotion of the materials and activities created, with the aim of structuring them in three lines of action: identification, action and behavior change. 10-Instruct through interaction with young people in the relation between sex and technology.
