+1	The curriculum covers online safety and the risks of sexual violence through digital technologies.

From indicators to budget lines

Use this as a guide to strengthen your advocacy requests and create targeted ‘asks’ to decision-makers within the right Ministry (for example: Foreign Affairs, Social Welfare, or Finance)

Indicator	What it tracks	Budget-line-to target	Template language
2.1 Education for students	Whether the national curriculum includes life skills-based sexuality and reproductive health education for lower-secondary students, including sexual violence awareness and online safety	Ministry of Education: curriculum development, teacher training, teaching materials, integration of sexual violence awareness and online safety content	“Allocate [amount] for the development and mandatory rollout of age-appropriate, life skills-based sexuality education across all lower-secondary schools, including content on sexual violence awareness, help-seeking, and online safety.”

Indicator	Examples of components to estimate
2.1 Education for students	Curriculum development and review; teacher training rollout; teaching materials and digital resources; integration of online safety content; monitoring of delivery
