The dispute began when the political group criticized sessions led by the La Ciranda cooperative, claiming they 'sexualize' children as young as 5 years old. However, the school and the City Council have defended the program as a mandatory part of the Catalan curriculum since 2019.

The Coeduca't program, approved by the Generalitat, aims to teach children about body boundaries and emotional health. Legal challenges against these workshops have previously been dismissed by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, confirming their compliance with educational laws.

According to Save the Children and the Ministry of the Interior, minors accounted for 42% of sexual crime victims in Spain in 2023. International guidelines from UNICEF and the WHO support early education as a vital tool for child protection and abuse prevention.
