In order to warn about omissions made in the educational system regarding reproductive and sexual health of young people and to inform the public on the worrying amount of disinformation that young people read in textbooks, CESI and the Youth Initiative organised a street action under the name: Sex na ex! O meni brine MZOŠ- neprocjenjivo (Sex na Ex! Ministry of Science, Education and Sports are looking after me – invaluable!). Students and pupils were handed out campaign promotional materials and talked to their peers about the importance of responsible sexual behaviour. The action was supported by actress Ana Begić, singer and journalist Ida Prester and actor Kristijan Kiki Ugrina.

There was a pillar of shame erected at Cvjetni trg enclosing inappropriate information such as words and pictures singled out to demonstrate what young people encounter in the course of their education.

Among others, one could read the following: I am thirteen years old and I was not told in school that my sex organ is called penis; I am 18 years old and I have been taught that homosexuality is a matter of taste ...; I go to high school and no one ever explained what sexual intercourse is!; The textbook states that in puberty the body of a little girl gradually changes into a body of a high and slim young woman.; The body of a boy changes into a muscled body of a young man. What about us who are different?  

Nataša Bijelić from CESI pointed out that the objective of the campaign Sex na ex is to warn about the lack of information regarding sexual and reproductive health of young people. N.Bijelić stressed that young people learn about names of sex organs only in the higher grades of elementary school and that they do not learn what orgasm, oral and anal sex are. Furthermore, textbooks promote different stereotypes including statements such as the one about children born as result of medically assisted procreation saying they could ' feel lonely among normally born children'. Therefore, CESI and the Youth Initiative propose opening of youth-friendly clinics for young people and counselling centres for young people.  

Members of the Youth Initiative, students Marija Jukić and Petra Kišić pointed out that young people in today's society need verified information regarding sexual behaviour. They also pointed out that more than 38% of young boys and girls in Croatia did not use and protection when they had their first sexual intercourse. In addition, every third boy and every fifth girl do not know that HPV (Human papillomavirus) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

The action was supported by MP Goran Beus Richemberg (HNS). Mr. Beus Richemberg believes that the existing concept of sexual education in schools is so conservative that it could actually be called anti-sexual. He proposes that young people in course of their education and beginning with elementary school should receive education on matters concerning the physical body, body functions and relationships. However, in addition to timely education it is important that parents communicate with their children about sexual behaviour because, in the words of Beus Richembergh: ' every parent has enough love to find the way', and must not allow the street or Grozd to be educators of our children.

Katarina Fuček, president of women's organisation 'Katarina Zrinski'(HDZ), answering the question regarding sexual education and education of young people in elementary schools and high schools said that: ' everything based on a scientific approach and beneficial for young people is good'. She believes that modern society requires a less traditional as well as quality in the approach to sexual education and thinks that such an approach would benefit young people.

Street action Sex na ex! O meni brine MZOŠ-neprocjenjivo encouraged citizens to voice their dissatisfaction with the current conditions in Croatian education.  

"Out with religious education from schools; in fifth grade our teacher had separated boys and girls in biology class; we don't talk about the 'S' word at home. The biology teacher told us to read the lesson on sexuality at home.' are some of the comments that concerned citizens wrote on the pillar of shame. 

We hope that the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports will not ignore the request that textbooks prepared for the following school year should have the content changed and start with adequate education of young people in matters regarding sexuality and reproductive health.                                                                                                             .

It seems that sexual education in schools and religious education outside school hours will have to wait for some other times.
