Primary schoolchildren are frequently shielded from education on
sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases in an effort to protect
their innocence. In countries like South Africa, where AIDS is
particularly widespread, it is especially important to address
prevention with younger boys and girls as active social agents with
the capacity to engage with AIDS as gendered and sexual beings.
This volume addresses the question of children's understanding of
AIDS, not simply in terms of their dependence but as active
participants in the interpretation of their social worlds. The
volume draws on an interview and ethnographic based study of young
children in two socially diverse South African primary schools, as
well as interviews conducted with teachers and mothers of young
children. It shows how adults sustain the production of childhood
sexual innocence, and the importance of scaling up programs in AIDS
intervention, gender and sexuality. It makes significant
contributions to the global debate around childhood sexualities,
gender and AIDS education.
