The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been giving millions of dollars to a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that seeks to normalize the sexualization of children under 10 years of age, including commercial sex work and gender identity education.
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is made up of 120 independent organizations in over 146 countries and has received over $80 million from Gates.
The IPPF claims that they work “to ensure people are free to make choices about their sexuality and wellbeing in a world free from discrimination.”
This NGO teaches sex education to children around the world, and in a 2017 “toolkit”, the organization suggests that prostitution should be categorized under “types of relationships” like marriage and dating.
From FOX News:
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donates millions annually to a nongovernmental organization which claims that children are born sexual and should learn about “commercial sex work” under 10 years of age.
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) – a separate entity from the U.S. nonprofit – wields significant influence on global sex education. The NGO comprises 120 independent organizations in over 146 countries and has received – including its European network – over $80M from Gates. Other significant donors included the World Health Organization.
A toolkit released in 2017 showed an insight into how the NGO teaches sex education to children around the globe.
“Sexual activity may be part of different types of relationships, including dating, marriage or commercial sex work, among others,” IPPF said about children under 10 should be taught, which was first flagged by Nicole Solas of the Independent Women’s Forum.
Children under 10 should also be told “As you grow up, you might start to be interested in people with diverse gender identities,” the toolkit said.
The IPPF suggested in multiple instances that children are born sexual.
“[S]ex positivity acknowledges that human beings, including adolescents and young people, are autonomous sexual beings.”
Sex educators, according to the NGO, should have an “Understanding of young people as sexual beings.”
“[A]ll people are sexual beings with sexual rights, regardless of their age,” the NGO said.
It went on to say that “Sexual rights include… the right to say yes or no to sex; the right to express sexuality, including the right to seek pleasure; the right to enjoy bodily autonomy…”
Despite the fact that IPPF defined a child as under the age of 18, per the UN’s Convention of the Rights of a Child, the toolkit excluded weighing on the approximate age of a child’s ability to consent with an adult.
It stated, “Member Associations are encouraged to use existing evidence to assess the best age parameters for their local context.”
