Influence of the implementation of an educational program on sexual and reproductive rights in children and adolescents at the community of the Guamote canton

Abstract

When defining the sexual and reproductive rights of children and adolescents, there is a lack of in-depth discussion at the social level. Therefore, the research objective was to identify the influence of the application of an educational program on sexual and reproductive rights in children and adolescents at the community level in the Guamote canton. The information was collected through a survey of 65 children and adolescents, evaluating socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge and practices. As a result, a 55.38% lack of knowledge about the concept of reproductive rights was identified, which led to the design of an educational program on sexual and reproductive rights.
