Att debattera samtycke: implementeringen av den nya samtyckeslagen i läroplanen för skolans sexualundervisning : En kvalitativ forskningsstudie om den politiska synen på samtycke, jämställdhet och normkritik i skolan och särskolan.

The new Sexual Offenses Act was signed into law on the first of June 2018, as a result of the #metoo movement’s emphasis on taking action against sexual violence and harassment. The law, that is based on a lack of voluntariness in sexually connected behaviors, goes by the name the Consent Act. Since educational deficiencies has been identified, the Swedish government has commissioned the National Agency for Education to evaluate, among other things, consent in the sex education. The new Sexual Offenses Act should also be incorporated into the sex education. The study focuses on how the #metoo movement has influenced the debate between Swedish political parties over implementing the Consent Act in school curricula for sex education, which is founded on three central concepts: consent, gender equality, and norm criticism. The scope of this thesis is primarily the debate of the Swedish parliament and the planned curricula for sex education in the school for pupils with learning disabilities. Through a qualitative content analysis, questions about how the parties’ interpretations of the three concepts have influenced the changes that have been made in the sex education curricula before the autumn term of 2022, are intended to be answered. The main conclusion of the analysis suggests that the concepts used in the political debate regarding education, also have been influential in the recent relabeling of the subject sex education.
