SECTION 1



LITERACY




Literacy is defined as the ability to understand, evaluate, use and engage
with written texts to participate in society, achieve one’s goals, and
develop one’s knowledge and potential.

Literacy encompasses a range of skills from the decoding of written words
and sentences to the comprehension, interpretation, and evaluation of
complex texts. It does not, however, involve the production of text
(writing).

Information on the skills of adults with low levels of proficiency is provided
by an assessment of reading components that covers text vocabulary, sentence
comprehension and passage fluency.

SEXUAL
HEALTH




The World Health Organization defines sexual health as a state of physical,
emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not
merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.

Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and
sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and
safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
