What are some effective ways to educate adolescent girls about consent, healthy relationships, and sexual health?

In addressing the critical topics of consent, healthy relationships, and sexual health with adolescent girls, what comprehensive and age-appropriate educational approaches, interactive workshops, and supportive resources can parents, educators, and caregivers utilize to empower girls with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, assert their boundaries, and make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships? Recognizing the importance of fostering open communication, destigmatizing discussions about sexuality, and promoting values of respect, autonomy, and mutual consent, how can adults create safe, inclusive spaces for dialogue, provide accurate and accessible information, and address myths, misconceptions, and societal pressures that may impact girls' understanding of consent, body image, and sexual health, thus equipping them with the tools and agency to navigate their own sexual experiences and relationships with confidence, autonomy, and respect for themselves and others?
