HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 24 (acn)
The vice president of the Latin American Federation of
Sexology and Sexual Education Societies, Elizabeth Gutierrez
Florez said Cuba has done good progress on the matter and
that the work of health authorities’ efforts to educate the
people are wonderful.
The Colombian specialist, who
is attending the 6th Cuban Congress on
Sexual Education, Orientation and Therapy, told the media
she has taken
part in similar events in Cuba in which she has noticed the
advances made
by the island in this science.
Gutierrez Flores insisted on the importance of educating the
people noting
that sexual illiteracy existing worldwide is the main cause
leading to
sexual dysfunctions.
The specialist announced that Colombia will be the venue for
the 16th
Latin American Congress on Sexology and Sexual Education in
2012. She said
the event will tackle problems related to violence, abuse
and sexual
harassment and aggressions in the different countries of the
region.
On Tuesday, the scientific program of the meeting underway
in Havana
includes a master lecture about key factors for AIDS
prevention, and a
round table on local strategies to warn the people over the
disease.
The Cuban Congress is organized by the National Center of
Sexual Education
and the Cuban Multidisciplinary Society for Sexuality
Studies.
