not on the drag queens, miss ground, the facts i'm show seen that went out loud. we sound uncomfortable for some of you. it's always been viewed as a complex and culturally sensitive topic across africa. that could be several reasons for that's including cultural and religious. influenza is stigma or shame. but why should that stop us from learning or talking about it? well, it's definitely not stopping now. girls often use report to come in out lots she when to check out a social 4. that's called clinic i you them or youth clinic in keep that, let's find out more. it all up. hello and welcome to another goals of new episode from the cape that and capital tie up. my name is camilla long,

and i'm 15 years old. today we're going to visit the community projects youth clinic is created by 2 young. keep that in the us to promote sexual and reproductive house, and once again, they want to reduce teenage pregnancy and also medical services to young teenage of things. guess do you want to know more? come join us when better by force, and they also lay out when high school they have no access to profit sexual and reproductive health services. there's so many of the cost me to leave school. you too early pregnancy, which is why they started their own project school. you've senate bill monthly. you get this one at a stop, but it's a clinic for you. girls, a boys full of reproductive age. but uh, what if was getting sort of thing good, proper family planning advice and if necessary, pregnant girls have health care assistance during the pregnancy. it may include that as these 5 years after finishing the nursing training data,

emil with our return to the old high school, phyllis sale by the way, lopez, they applied for funding and eventually managed to open the sexual health clinic, 60 transmitted diseases, contraception and everything concerning reproductive health is discussed with the teenagers appears out of the, the implement even though we started this project, which will hopefully help to reduce cases of fairly pregnancies. we still need to do more. it might be might as well because young people need to be educated on the subject. now, yes, they do the best sellers separately. they need to understand how to plan their lives when it's a good time to start this actual and reproductive flight. what they should do or shouldn't do it. okay, if i say you can also by offering professional advice, they hope to create more awareness and prevent team ages from dropping out of school at an early age guides. but we have various activities for the school. for example, we have lectures and we didn't have

a wide range of professional to address different issues around sexual health. i'm skipped. the main mid doctors will be offering gynecological consultations for teenagers. and we're also going to focus on providing information by distributing pamphlets and always being available at school to meet the demands of us you can learn. this is not the street and this is also work outside the school in order to reach other young people who don't have access to good health services. they talk to them about 6, but also other issues like the responsible consumption of alcohol or drug abuse. before we have come to an end of this goes off mute episode that will be back soon with new stories as high level the report from the girls off new team. and i'll use the report to come in lots. i think this project and keep that will help create more awareness about sex. and that's why the topic of

sex should not be a problem. we are definitely not shy and away from it. and that's why this week street debate took us to good guy. the one to, to talk about 6 either tamani spoke to young that for kind of some difference corners of the continent who gave us an insight on the situation that the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in the beautiful city of the gully, and we get to talk about something that is very rarely discussed in the african public spaces. and that is, that's what we're here to try and find out. is it time that we, we think how we have conversations around 6 and sexuality? well, i have some people here who are going to help me answer that question. and i want to start with a broad question for everyone. do you remember your 1st introduction to sex education and how was that like the 1st introduction was being shown how to we i pad because apparently before i assume the heads that administered things. and now

i was supposed to be very careful because it seems it's possible to have a human being after that. yeah. yeah. uh okay. so let's hear from you. what about your time slot african? so in is a main deed was due to the h as in aids pandemic. so everything was against that was trying to teach us about 6, but in relation to this is like what might happen to you. so all i ever saw were campaigns on t z at school. so my idea of 6 was like, eventually you have like these little creepy things that get into your blood and sweat to dry. the english. that's all very scary. typically you are laughing, was it the same for your inputs? one, my 1st interaction with the idea of success to ality was actually did home the big enough it to mom us for our school bags. and we think she's checking books get, making sure everything's ready for the new school time. we get our backs back. you find condos side where shopping. i what are these? that's when we initiated the conversation. my mother initiated the conversation on sex and, and protection and obviously coming from what do i not h, i v. so it sounds like it's a little fee,

a based education ivy. i'm going to put you on the spot here because your mom elizabeth just said what her experience was. did she give you your 1st introduction to sex education? yeah, actually regarding how you relate to boys, how you really to man, you know, how you car yourself in your team? me is. yeah, and it is, there is a why i have the lady who i am today. yeah. i actually want to hear from emma because she is, we call them sunglasses. yeah. but it's actually a 6 educating the traditional setup. is this how people get introduced to 16 wanda, it's a little bit different because i know it's growing up. i got the 1st introduction when i was really young to make a, i've 7 years old. and that's when we, why we add the guards, especially domestic goes. if you have one at home and they start talking about it, especially that idea, you know, i'm guessing. so this is a car so that's, that's a very audi. and then when the car to in, that's way to use that. then think about 622. it doesn't happen very much these

days, but yeah, you can be and sort of used to to, to do the 6 ready t as young that 7. okay. so, i mean, let me come to you briefly because we're seeing that these various ways that people get into contact with the information about such a lot of stuff, but also sexuality. but why is it important to have something more comprehensive? one of the things that we, that we've been able to see is how a doesn't have inadequate information about 6 or productive health. for example, that some who have told this, like, if you, if you do a protective steps at the, at the nighttime, you know, going to the daytime, you're not going to get pregnant. so they, they do have a plane to move about 6 or productive health. and if we don't equip them with the right information, this is going to be something that is going to be close, but even to ad. okay. uh, and i'm just wondering the role of culture here. what can we do to integrate some

of these cultural practices into sex education? i feel like there's one that occurred to use it to encourage people to talk about 6 . we had people who were supposed to teach you about 66, and i called you on c o o p a as. but when he presented t o k meaning wanda, we started to run that scene. so kind of 6, ready to and thinks related when you want to, to you tonight. it's i seeing what are you interested? why are you talking about 6? i want to come back to to know because i know you had said something interesting to me about how sex education starts and it's different from men and women or girls and boys in your culture, back home. the culture come from a part of the class of culture you'll, you'll have like a young boys. they go up to the mountain, they get circumcise, and they towards all of these ideas of what it means to be a man. and one of the 1st things that they expected to do when they returned back them is to have a girlfriend and to sleep with her. it's sort of like

a transfer of energy that you have to do that kind of welcomes into manhood. however, on the other end, when you have young girls at myself, you're expected to remain diversion for as long as you can, you have to keep it together. you have to remain peel. however, we live in the same society, like the same guy that you're expecting to go up and get gold. i'm, i'm the same go that's expected to be gotten. and she's also expected to keep it together. i'd be, i want to come to you a little bit because i wonder if this pressure to, for a woman to be preserved still exists in your generation. actually actually in, in can now when you get to that relationship with a guy, oh you are in the talking stages of the guy. one of the few question was that they will ask you is, what is your body count? if i assume a body count is 5, then that like damn, you have been passed around so much the number of people. yeah. the yeah. and the mom us giving you that has probably low down. but you and you say 5, it is outrageous. your mommy, you know,

your mom cannot believe which is the most of the people you will have slept with the talking said this is a bit less. i don't even like you mind. according to the man, according to the man i should, i should be prescribed, you know, i shall be in my bubble, be in my circle and not have sexual relations. but him, he is a parking every way, you know, he is everywhere and it is not an issue. so. okay, so you had, you had a different viewpoint. right? yeah, i have a little bit of a different experience. and what about like, how things are changing amongst young people in my space? when they talking about the section contest, everyone works for their own orgasm, right? i think that going along, it shows me that women are like taking control of their own sexual liberty. and i think what then becomes problematic is on our side as the gen strides, i'm a lot of gents then become intimidated by seeing

a young lady who's so in touch with the sexual, a sexual side. right. and who's pursuing their sexual liberties as freely as we are as gen stripe, by the way, we're speaking strictly here from a head with sexual point of view. i'd like to hear some solution, some ideas you have on how we could make 6, not a conversation to trout it in mystery of secrecy, but more open. i mean a healthy way for us and we need to get the shame off. uh, 6. it is normal, we need to start with the parents and train them to like bring up that you've done in a way that they are comfortable and happy with wherever they added we'd be aboard these . all right, and finally we took the so see young people already having conversations on sex and sexuality with other peers, for example, um, at our university campus, we've created a space called bozza where we got to have conversation on topics that kind

of controversial. and we've had conversations are on homeless actuality, for example. and we've talked about women's pursuits of the sexual liberties within these bars and what that means in the african context. right. and the guys have been free enough to open up about some of their misconceptions about that as well and learn and then re learn as well of well, i love that that's a great place to wrap up this debate. the sun is setting we have a lot to think about. i asked yes, should we think how, where and even who talks about sex on this continent? that's a result. and yes, if you asked me thank you for watching the that's what a sounding yes from me to wish we change our perception on discussions about sex across the continent. and honestly, i think change is already happening. we conduct that samples and all instagram page dw, the 77 percent. let me take you through to other questions. we asked fast assess the

top, we will topic for you out of $22.00 votes. 91 percent said no with 90 percent saying yes. and i have a question we asked was so talking about sex, be encouraged, 100 percent of you said yes. so that's talking about sex and as engaging in the act of things that could lead to the act. one of you asked the question, when is the right time to get intimate with a new pop? now, is there a right time? our very own sex, that's kaz, breaks it down for us. hello everybody, and welcome to this spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything, sex and relationship. today, our question is a bit of a heartfelt one coming all the way from ivory coast, from a young lady by the name of mariam boys. you might be um, her question re take of so ive been dating this guy for about 3 weeks now. i really

like him. we have almost everything in common. we also have really strong sexual chemistry, but i'm worried that if i sleep with him, he will leave. this has happened to me before. so i'm trying to be more cautious and going into relationships. my question is, when is the right time to have sex with the partner for the 1st time? thanks for your question. marian. the thing with relationships is that every encounter you have with each person you date will be different. if what you're looking for is longevity. then give it some time, see if he sticks around. he sounds like a decent enough guy and alicia is this sounds only time will tell. there are a ton of things that you can do to ease the sexual tension. so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything while you're still getting to know each other better . send each other sexy text messages. explore ways of being intimate that don't involve physical touch. long sexy phone calls, right before bedtime intermittent is under the stars. you may even decide to get physical without actually having intercourse. the list is endless and this can go

on until you feel comfortable enough to have sex with your partner. when you feel ready to have sex with your partner for the 1st time, go ahead and enjoy those pleasures. just remember to be safe and go in with no expectations other than enjoying the experience from me kaz till next time. that. thanks guys for that. i think the key point for me is that never do anything you don't want to do and to be safe because you may not be ready to be a father or mother. unfortunately, society has its way of stereotyping, especially young mothers, tying them into rows that don't feel natural to them. that is not cool because of my, the who it is about matching and how that looks like the 1st from one by one another . and i will be, can you, i mean, i just feel is leading the fight against such stereotypes. in becoming

a mazda is a life event that is mostly mentally joy. well the transitioning to motherhood is modifies. do are types that could we can the result of any strong woman until they decide to challenge them. that is something that i mean that joshua from there will be kenya started to do. so my transition into motherhood was being accepted into spaces where previous me it wasn't when i became my mother, things change and a good kind of good that respects of ensuring that's a okay. now we can hear from her because she's become like a good mother who didn't. kenya, as in many parts of african cities, is seen as a duty at the expense of your personality was a woman becomes a mother. so sad to applies different from suddenly she's judge ashley when she does have too much fun or if she becomes a single mother or if she is clear, i mean there is no stranger to the effects looks much easier. and one of the things that amino has done is to phone the digital thoughtful on mothering the woman. it

has evolved to hybrid events. where can we mend me to talk about breaking the mother who is to type i have been all of these my life. i have been the divorce to my that i have been them not being able to breast feed my the i have been you know, have been putting on domestic violence. my, the, i have, you know, had my mother good to present like, what would you like to speak to? who is your demographic? demographic is jacqueline, actually inc, is one of the women. we've seen that another brings a woman movement. she had her 1st child a 35 and she 2 has faced studio type. the people who interactive, especially in the workplace, in that time, it was to go to a certain church that to do are very strong. you can definitely look at me like why would you choose, can be a nice life over my the who do for me life. she says being

a part of the community has become so important because now she doesn't feel alone in her struggle. when they need such save spaces, once you take on the sort of life mother, you lose your individuality. so you're given that space to be an individual. yes, we know you have your child. we know you loved them, but you also have these feelings that you need to process mothers expected to find the joy in their families and virtually. so what happens when women, like jackie and amena find to enjoy in other activities outside of mother? of course they have games you you have to remove yourself from the locals. of mom, give a 100 jackie, a chain is one among thousands of women that amena has impacted on the facebook page and mother we, i mean not. and how group want to continue being we take positive and the teams $21.00 version of how much that's right. no one has the right to

decide. however my that should be except for those experiencing motherhood. now talking about stereotypes, as you might be aware, members of the l g, b, t, q, a community, often face discrimination on the prosecution in many african countries in malawi, same sex activities criminalized on the law. and people who identify us trends have also faced prosecution. yet malawi does have a pre, a community which is fighting for its place in society. one of its members is the hugh l. a. s h e, a middle grounded. we need to have a legal system in place that allows people to have the right to say that this was unfair and i need this to be addressed. and this was wrong. i was harassed, i was abused, i. ready hit etc, or whatever. and it needs to be addressed to, i'm not going to be the people i'm not going to like. and even if they're, even if the,

the world says do whatever you want and it's legal. they still not going to like him, but he's ever they cross that line. they should be prosecuted for those for those crimes. so here is a design, a comedian and actor pleases drag is a dramatic art form to make his voice had a drug. the sort of mileage of where i'm going to go to you or gigi. so who dresses over and over the sides. i'm actually also from like joe book and like saw nancy go at the same time, but this is the thing many people with us you'll do is assume that i'm different, like i'm from somebody else and what the of which is through i'm from both, sorry, africa and also from a law we visit part like across town, i can't go to because there is a fear of being attacked physically attacked. and the thing about it and allow it has mentality. so if one person goes on everyone goes off. if i did tell you what were the things that happened this weekend to really hard

just to be an artist in malawi is hide and when you also have to fight issues around you identity, it is incredibly lonely. so here's other persona had a solution to create not just a safe space, but also a community. i'm a gym and i, i like to view myself as to personalities. so i like to say miss grande's from the other part of me that's free. that is open, that is unapologetically, say whatever she wants to say in that moment. so that's why few, for the year is here to make sure that the buses running is here to pay the bill so that the lights are on. it is here to make sure that this use of there is here to make sure that whatever bad things happen to him and these customer service is bad, he can take it and make a good review out of it. he's just the behind the scenes of everything. so the background of them allow an eligibility community has been out there for

a very long time. but people haven't been comfortable to live as themselves in malawi and the highlights of the eligibility community came when at the table at tons and a woman married her husband back in dallas, around 2010. and that became so big that other international organizations talk to intervene. and that's when molly is started talking more about our community and what it's like to be in the community, but we're never accepted into the community in malawi, when we rolled with the 1st um rainbow night, the response we had, we had the toner, it was really good, but nozzle with the backlash just i've seen from other customers i usually if you recognize it and they, they still have that void of not trying to to be part of it because of the ideas. well, i just, i think maybe the information that i have so i think, i mean, we're not, we're not really educated much to accept the community. so i know that space is

like this and, and putting a voice out and makes us take all $4.00 and $1.00 how you to the african approach to inclusivity in terms of how to be the community would be unity within communities within different communities. and unity between society as a whole, because once we lose the support that we get from society, we cannot move forward. the fact that he's not seeing anyone, he's not bringing pain. anyone's lisay such an amazing person. he feels like when and there's a lot of joy, you would say, yeah. like, love the sense of humor the piece and that he is because he's going to, he's been through so much and the way i look at it, he's just trying to survive. so i like to carry light, so if it's a long show the suitcase, but today it's going to be more of an interactive show. so i have my bag and i just basically stuff everything. so here's journey is far from over. but he's determined

to continue with his art while living his best. wishing here all the best, but his art while living is best life. and i hope you all live in your best life too. don't forget to connect with us on all social media platforms. well and instagram, take talk and youtube. join us. net screw together. thanks a lot for sharing your time with us. i. i'm very mike, a junior and i'll leave you with some music from being credible. send me the next time, bye for now, the the
