Abstract<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sex education plays a critical role in developing an individual\u2019s personality and shapes them to become the person they are. It helps them make better decisions adopting a rational frame of mind instead of relying on their impulse. Lack of sex education and healthy discussion around sexual activities is one of India\u2019s main concerns that we are still failing to take adequate actions for. An advanced sex education program would bring about various positive changes and directly result in a decrease in the number of sexual assault cases. This paper analyses how various factors in India have shaped its almost non-existent sex education program. It also focuses on how the digital era brings an increasing need to make the youth aware of their activities online. The paper uses PESTLE analysis to comprehend the political, social, technological, and legal aspects affecting the various subjects related to the study. It discusses India\u2019s socio-cultural beliefs and how it has shaped the sex education curriculum within the country. Many political factors and players also come into the scenario when implementing policies related to sex education. A vast majority of political leaders are still not entirely convinced by the idea of providing such information through the formal education system. On the other hand, digital media is constantly on the rise, and we cannot neglect its popularity amongst the youth of this generation. Hence, we must focus on making it safe and comfortable for all its users. The paper also discusses the legal repercussions a person might face upon indulging in unethical and non-consensual sexual activity, primarily focusing on the digital space.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
