Two politicians in canton Fribourg want to remove the right of parents to have their children exempted from sex education classes.
They fear possible abusers may wish to keep children uninformed.
The two point to a French study that shows as many as one in ten experienced sexual violence as a child – there is no equivalent study for Switzerland.
Alexandre Berset, from the Green Party, says depriving children from sex education risks removing a safe space for children to discuss abuse.
Two cantons in French speaking Switzerland, Geneva and Neuchatel, don’t allow parents to remove their kids from sex classes.
