Add asexuality to the relationships education curriculum
Ensure the discussion of and teaching about asexuality, demisexuality, aromanticism, aro-ace and other forms of asexuality are included in the national curriculum for relationships education. It should become a mandatory part of teaching in schools, along with discussion of other LGBTQ+ topics.
Asexuality plays a large part in many people's lives. They are incredibly important to many, and yet there is often little if anything taught about asexuality. This can lead to feelings where children, at the most vulnerable stage of life, are growing up feeling things are wrong with them, that they are different, and they may stay unaware for a long time of their life, possibly leading to horrific outcomes.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
