Haro on sex education in Poland

Audio 7:30 p.m.

By: Frédérique Lebel

The ultra-conservative drift continues in Poland. Especially since the Law and Justice party, the PiS of Jaroslaw Kaczyński, won an absolute majority in the last legislative elections in October 2019.

Publicity

And the battle is currently focused on sex education. The Diet (Lower House of the Polish Parliament) is currently discussing a bill which could punish three years in prison for anyone who gives sex education in school.
" Stoppedofilii " claim the ultra-Catholic associations, which consider that this teaching depraves youth. What demoralize all the school stakeholders, that Thomas Giraudeau met in Warsaw.

Religious silence in Croatia
And in the Balkans, in Croatia, the Catholic Church is waging a battle in all points similar. But, which curiously meets much less opposition. There are still no sex education classes in Croatian school. And since 2013, successive governments have not dared to introduce a reform of the program. Simon Rico

And France can do better !
Since 2001, the law provides for three sessions of sexuality education per year, from primary to high school. On the program: contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, puberty, but also sexist and homophobic prejudices.
But, almost 20 years later, this law is not fully applied. Lea-Lisa Westerhoff.

At the source of " agribashing "
Because the phenomenon is not only French, we use an English word. "Agribashing", this new anger of citizens towards farmers. Too cruel to animals, too disrespectful of nature, too greedy in pesticides: the list of grievances is long.
In December 2019, the French national gendarmerie opened a special cell to fight against intrusions on farms, and there were 71 actions in 2019 carried out by anti-meat activists.
To renew the dialogue between the inhabitants, neo-rural or not elsewhere, and the peasants, farmers have opened a telephone line. A toll free number, entitled “Ici la terre”. They intend to respond directly to criticism. This is the report by Alexis Bédu.

In a word : Spitzenvater
And we will end this program with our column "En un mot". We have chosen this week Spitzenvater, Super Dad in German.
Each year, the Spitzenvater des Jahres , the super dad of the year, is elected in Germany.
Last year (2019), the prize was awarded to the husband of the first German woman astronaut, and this sparked a lively debate across the Rhine. Why reward a father who does what almost all German mothers do? Explanations from Déborah Berlioz .
