To understand the impact that the legislation has had on sex education, it is necessary to evaluate it at the different training levels.Design/methodology/approachThe method used is a critical review aimed at comparing educational and state legislation and its impact on Sex Education in Spain and the United Kingdom.FindingsIn most countries the compulsory contents in the curriculum are oriented to sexually transmitted infections and contraception. Nonetheless, this approach is deemed inadequate and restrictive, failing to cope with the challenges posed by globalization, including the increased spread of sexual infection. Legislative constraints hinder the comprehensive implementation of public health education strategies and social justice concerning sexuality.Research limitations/implicationsScope may miss legislative nuances and regional differences.Practical implicationsFindings emphasize comprehensive sex education to tackle modern challenges and to urge policy makers to incorporate these insights.Social implicationsEnhanced sex education laws foster health equity that will contribute to reducing violence and improving positive attitudes and behaviours.Originality/valueInsufficient analysis exists on the effects of ministry measures in sex education, connecting health, well-being and sustainability.
