SIECUS gave Connecticut and New Jersey the highest rating while Tennessee ranked last due to lack of measures to protect sexual rights. The council also called for state level activism and participation from sexuality professionals in order to effectiveley protect and support sexual rights.

The complex issues of sexual harassment

Article Abstract:

Many people are unable to affirm their sexuality because of past experiences in which it has been violated by others. The effect of these violations can be insidious and last a whole lifetime. Sexual harassment must clearly be tackled, but there is also a danger that political correctness about sexual harassment can go too far. It is important to name and talk publicly about sexual harassment, recognizing that it cannot ever be tolerated in any form. Adults and young people must be encouraged to understand concepts of consent and boundaries.
