Gillian Anderson found inspiration in her character from the hit Netflix show
Sex Education. She is now striving to break the taboos surrounding sex education and is making women’s health a priority. In a recent interview with Hello, Anderson discussed how women’s health has become an important topic for her, especially since her involvement in Sex Education. She emphasized the prevalence of taboos surrounding women’s bodies, sex, and menopause, despite it being 2023.
Anderson highlighted the importance of open and informative messaging for young people. She also referenced a survey from Miracare in late 2023 that revealed 90% of Americans feel unprepared by sex education. The survey also found that over 30% felt unprepared and uneducated on various aspects of women’s health. This lack of education extends beyond America, prompting organizations and figures like Anderson to work on spreading comprehensive sexuality education globally.
Anderson concluded the interview by encouraging women to embrace their power and the attributes they admire. She hopes to inspire women of all ages to explore the qualities they admire and to own them more confidently.
Anderson’s efforts to address the taboos surrounding sex education and women’s health are commendable and serve as a catalyst for much-needed change.
