translated from Spanish: For Esteban Bullrich that reads the Web: why the ESI and gender are complementary?

in an interview with journalist Maria O´donnell, Senator Esteban Bullrich and former Minister of education, said, among many things, the “gender” had “nothing to do” with the law of comprehensive sex education and to mix the two issues was an e error that distracted from the real problem which is the high level of teenage pregnancies that exist in the country. As this humble journalist knows and understands that it was the feminist movement and the teachers who promoted the project of ESI and that it is wrong that statement of the ex-Minister, spoke with Paula Locane, participant of the national campaign of legal abortion to us count how much is about gender in this debate. 

Posters with the campaign “Con mis hijos no te metas” sexual education is based on gender mainstreaming the ESI works with the so-called ´perspectiva of genero´, the same part of the recognition that there is inequality between men and women and is inequality is structural, functional to the status quo established. The ESI works with genre because it teaches the niñxs thinkers that stereotypes and gender roles are not fixed and universal natures and socially imposed ideals/models. In this sense, the ESI is a tool of cultural transformation of unequal gender relations and even violent that occur in society and has as a backdrop among other things, eliminate violence by sex/gender. What you would tell Esteban Bullrich about your claim?
Would require the former Minister of education read the law, I would point out that it is embarrassing and bizarre that a former Minister of education of CABA may not relate clearly ESI and gender because this not only realizes his ignorance on the subject of , but of his selflessness which responsible for it doubly because as a public official is responsible for ensuring these rights. Erratic and lightly discuss this matter is a form of favor the dirty disinformation campaign attacking today ESI which aggravates the situation because it uses its public investiture to mislead and manipulate. A former Education Minister must explain the ESI, must inform the involved rights and should above all encourage immediate implementation and budget consistent with the urgency and necessity of the task.  How do you think to that they are “resolved” teen pregnancies if it is not with a gender perspective?
There is something like teen pregnancy, the idea of “teenage pregnancy” as if it were a universal experience is an abstraction. It does not exist. The teen trans have located pregnancies, is not the same being pregnant at age 13 in San Isidro with a family that will help you live in Villa Lugano 20, have 13 years, who you your father has raped and become pregnant. It is not the same be 16 years and search have a child with your partner. It is not the same be the wichi who died yesterday or an adolescent of Caballito. Then the expression “teenage pregnancy” is an expression that confuses, stigmatized, puts them in a place of understatement, because it presupposes that all adolescents aged 13 unable to decide, not to know what they do. It is a complex argument because it’s stigmatizing, it unaware of the variety of experience around Central magnificent of teen pregnancies. All sex education about pregnancy in middle school has to take into account that not only should inform about contraceptive methods, empowering women who become pregnant. Medical science paradigm is that believe that reporting without understanding of contexts, it will work. The gender perspective served to realize that people are located. Often adolescent women not can, for example, negotiate condom during sex. We live in a society that encourages the girls so that they are loved and males to be hunters, in that context, in addition to teaching, if not I empodero the girls in order to build an egalitarian relationship with their partners, it is likely that they are pregnant i Gual.
