Abstract

This paper analyzes a decision by the European Court of Human Rights on sexual education in schools. The Court declared the case inadmissible because, in its opinion, there was no discrimination and the parents’ rights were not infringed since the module on sex education provided objective information about the sexual diversity and did not advocate any form of sexual behavior.
