This study explores the sociodemographic characteristics of Indigenous women in Barangay Lagumit, Malita, Davao Occidental, and their perspectives on sex education. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach, data was collected from 95 Indigenous women (ages 18–59) through structured surveys. Descriptive analysis revealed positive attitudes toward sex education, with high mean scores in knowledge (M = 4.17), attitude (M = 4.22), and perception (M = 4.09). Inferential statistics (ANOVA) showed that educational attainment significantly influenced knowledge, attitude, and perception, while ethnicity affected perception, highlighting the role of cultural background in sex education engagement. Age and civil status had no statistically significant effects. These findings underscore the need for age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and education-level-specific sex education programs. Stakeholders must develop tailored interventions to foster informed decision-making and promote equitable reproductive health education among Indigenous women.
