Girls’ sexual and reproductive health is linked to numerous human rights such as the right to education, dignity, information, life, health, privacy, right against torture and discrimination as declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Human Rights and the Kenyan Constitution (Republic of Kenya, 2010). Despite these legal linkages, reproductive health challenges such as unexpected pregnancies, HIV Aids, and risky abortion among teenagers still persist and are connected to inadequate information about sexuality and reproduction. Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is acknowledged as a critical component in any curriculum. Despite this assertion, little attention has been given on how to enhance sex education to enhance girls’ dignity which is at stake. The study largely utilized secondary data, current methodical and meta-analysis of literature assessments were utilized for cross-validating the reviewed outcomes. Objectively, in this review, standard CSE facets are explicated, and fundamentals integral to this mode of education like curriculum designing, implementation, monitoring, evaluation in addition to theoretical viewpoints concerning CSE are delineated. The study established that Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) which is stage fitting, life skills grounded, scientifically correct, gender and culture-sensitive offers youths’ information and skills for the purpose of making knowledgeable choices in regard to their sexual relations. Conclusively, CSE is a noble commitment to improving the well-being of teens and youths. It is also a quest towards transformative learning that offers students vital skills and knowledge that will assist them in circumnavigating their associations and their wider lives collectively. It is recommended that a robust framework to guide operative CSE as a panacea to youth sexuality challenges and a general agreement to deliver CSE from a unified educational standpoint, public health, and rights dimension be initiated. This review will significantly serve as a basis for more research in the area of CSE and policy enhancement.
