used to be a crime is involved with colonial times. we'll find out why it's now here to state that fast enough. i so how sworn in transition on the assembly, it's responsible for approving reforms for the countries democratic future. this comes out to a military coup that was condemned by the international community who asked at 1st stands for a couple re, blaming him for not tackling on a slimy insurgency. the sash commemorates their induction to book analysis, new assembly. a 3rd of the transitional parliament 71 members were chosen by cool leader and president paul, i. e e e dami bar, civil society groups, regional authorities and security ag. so here the rest of the assembly members will work alongside a new cabinet and civilian prime minister appointed by the military bill vote on which reforms the country will adopt as it seeks political and security stability.

mentorship is dawn as the 0 d. o, regardless of just wrong city in view of the state of security, just as well as the economic and social situation was, are all we have our work cut out for us to roll up one minute, we must accompany the transitional government in its firm determination. unable to free our country from the current terrorist hold will up, which is causing our country to suffer greatly remoter b. rapper money or is what would be some to day, we are all committed to the search for peace. let me simply piece. unless they are in the hope that the work that is going to take place was that he was in a lot that in the and we will achieve piece the same kind of piece we used to enjoy . and were, you know, far so a long time ago i was looking, a fossil has been increasingly targeted by

a deadly islamic insurgency. as in other parts of west africa, ousted president, rush corroborate, failed to dampen the attacks. this meant many in the country of 20000000. welcome to the ku, the african union, and the regional body echo us condemned the military takeover and suspended booking a fossil. but echo has said it won't abandon this troubled nation in its time of need. now uganda schools have in order to reinstate sexuality, education, the government bond that teaching children about reproductive and sexual health more than 5 years ago. now the high court has ruled that this bond is illegal, but not every one is convinced. that's the way to go. shakira chak winery is 17 and about to have a baby. she wasn't planning on getting pregnant. again, if i had known i would have asked him to use

a condom. if i had known about birth control pills, i would have bought and used them at 1st. shakira didn't notice her pregnancy. but after a few months, shaquira as mother noticed a change in our body and made us take a pregnancy test. until that point, a mother didn't talk about sakes with her teenage daughter. now she wants that appearance to open up to kids. yeah, gonna amazon amazon. it's good to teach children early, rather than letting them venture into sexual matters without knowing much. what echo parent should also open up that they should sit their children down and talk to them in your momma, lordy, as i or when he is 18. and already a dad who wishes some one had taught him about birth control. well, so okay, we used condoms at the beginning, but then i stopped using, well cool. you know,

i was surprised to see her tummy grow bigger than what i will. and then she told me she was pregnant to me, the ciocca around wanting folk, gauss, aged 18 and under, in uganda are pregnant or have a baby teenage pregnancies he to record high. during the pandemic, children stayed home for almost 2 years because schools were closed due to corporate 19. now they are back in school. the government plans to teach them 6 education or when he and his girlfriend aren't going to school anymore. but he still supports the idea, as well as a message. it should be taught topics like condom use in the russian government. without this information they can easily make mistakes out of ignorance, which can expose them to diseases. if i had been taught and i would have learned a lot and then is it because now i'm in a very challenging situation at a 1000 ability, anyone aggregate where they are gray and they are who had sex education used to be

taught to adolescence synagogue. then scores, but it was banned in 2016. 1 of the parents criticized the to me as immoral. advocates appealed the been and the high court has now ordered schools to written, introduced 6 education to children, as young as 12. if they take them, it is more better than ital lanning get on t. v. done getting it from the right person. the government has yet to roll out the new curriculum. some schools akin to start teaching kids the basics of sakes. we may not live them when they're on that for dis lima, for the glimpse of mental concrete awareness, only based learning. but in uganda, as conservative society, even teachers are divided. the code is marizza may be compromised. that you know,

i am a frequent slip with any man that is her own, simply because eleanor to get pregnant, may be owner of where aides, the government traces that 6 education is simply about informing students not encouraging them to have sex. when i'm telling you about contraception, i'm not thing grandiose contraception. i'm thing whenever you want to make a choice. this is the information you have. shakira hopes to return to school after giving birth. and she hopes to learn more about how not to get pregnant. while she's there from on this, i'm joined by a fatty arky younger from the center for health human rights and development in kampala. hey, organization is the one that took the government to court for not to provide in sexuality education in schools. hello, fatty are nice to see you. so how could sexuality education help? lower the rate of teen pregnancies, security the question empower young people to be able to have the knowledge and

skills and behavior that can help them to protect themselves against our many young risks that could expose them to our hearts out problems such as h a v such as about security to trans transmitted infractions and ali pregnancies. so why else does your organization believe that sexuality education in schools is important? it is important because it faster what it is there. a young people have a right to security education because only thing that we can really, we can realize, inclusive and quality education for everyone. but most importantly, young people need security education because again, they are exposed. they are exposed to the risks, but also we have cultural norms and social norms that disempower young people to think that people have power over them, including those that who are those that have used them to security. education

enables them to have the power to be confidential, to protect their own health most so when they are faced with situations where the experience are challenges such as gender based violence, sexual violence, and so on. so the court has ruled that the government must come up with a curriculum. what subjects would you like to have put in focus? i think subjects such as those that are, it's posing young people to wrists that are facing a lot of challenges around sexual sexual violence or subjects such as those are their bodily autonomy and how they can protect their bodies decision making our own issues of their sexual under productive health and going beyond the usual a reproductive health team to link that with their real they did to the realities over young people would be, would be appropriate. but most important to make sure that it's progressive it's

faced and it's age appropriate sexuality education. as you will obviously know, this push back against is, isn't there some parents and religious leaders worry that sexuality education encourages children to have sex? what do you say to that? i think it's just a misinterpretation by the religious leaders and the parents that when you talk about sexuality and on section for dr. health, you're talking about sex was security is much broader than that. it's about the behavior of young people. it's about their emotions, it's, it's about things like the physical abuse of young people, so it's much wider. and so for me, i believe it's, it's, it's just that it's in misinterpretation. other ways with there is research evidence that sexuality education in it was young people to deal at the a fast intercourse. ok for jackie younger from the center for health human rights on development in compiler. uganda. thank you.

now this is the beer, sometimes called a thumb piano. it's found all over africa, but it's closely identified with him. bob was showing up people the instrument was all but legally bound by colonial rulers. now there's a resurgence of interest in the traditional instrument from zimbabwe. dw correspondence privilege, machinery reports ah. ready ready ready sample piano has been played for over 1000 years. it remains in the heart of zimbabwe showing that peoples cultural identity theft during colonial time. them beater was banned and branded if anyone found a playing it was arrested. but the practice in the instrument said by
