Should kids learn about reproductive health in school? Discussions over a new bill in Pakistan’s Senate have sparked debate, with one side saying it’s essential to protect children through education, and others calling it culturally inappropriate.

Opponents, including senators from JUI-F, MQM, and PTI, argue it clashes with local values. What’s your take: Is it time for reproductive health education in schools? Or is the topic too sensitive for classrooms?
