The call for bids for the purchase of 10,000 wooden penises and condoms for an estimated cost of
13 million pesos
generated criticism and ignited controversy in the midst of the economic crisis exacerbated by the coronavirus.
This Saturday it was the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, who came to the crossroads of the questions.
"
Thank you for the unexpected dissemination of #PenesDeMadera
",
Vizzotti
wrote with irony on his Twitter account, adding that "the debate generated only makes visible and confirms the need for Comprehensive Sex Education (ESI)".
The head of the health portfolio insisted that "protected sexual practices prevent sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis and HIV.
Teaching how to use condoms
is a way of educating in individual and collective care."
Thanks for the unexpected diffusion of #PenesDeMadera.
The debate generated only makes visible and confirms how much we need Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) in our society.

Vizzotti also stressed that the controversy "measures the value of all those who work to educate."
