Introduction: In the last 30 years, important advances have been generated related to the right to live a safe and responsible sexuality, even so all the efforts made have not reached the expected expectations, for this reason, this research focused on "Public Policies associated with the Sexual and Reproductive Education and the contribution of Nursing ", a sexuality policy, must promote the right of all people to have information and services that facilitate decision-making, hence the importance of nursing personnel in complying with This, the objective of this research is to develop a systematic and comparative analysis about the behavior of public policies on sexual and reproductive health and the contribution of nursing in the population. Methodologically it was supported by the meta-analisys of studies related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Among the main findings we have are: at the Latin American level in terms of sexuality, adolescents and young people are considered a vulnerable population, so that the greatest number of programs and policies that are proposed are aimed at this population group; Despite all the efforts made by governments to decrease the incidence of HIV / AIDS, STIs, maternal mortality, premature pregnancy, among others, these have not allowed compliance with the health goals imposed; One of the important elements within the enhanced actions is education in SRH, a task that is carried out by the nursing staff with the individual, family and community.
