with the 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 that even though we started this project, which will hopefully help to reduce cases of fairly pregnancies. we still need to do more in life. you might as well because young people need to be educated on the subject, how they do best sellers separately. they need to understand how to plan their lives when it's a good time to stop his sexual and reproductive flight. what they should do or shouldn't do it. okay, if i say, you can also say by offering professional advice, 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 dress 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 shooting us 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've come to an end of this goes off mute episode that will be back soon with new story. is that by the lovely 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, got a one to, to talk about sex either. kamani spoke to young doctor, comes from different corners of the continent who give us an insight on the situation that the hello and welcome back to the 7 to 7 percent. this week we are in the beautiful city of the gully, and we have 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 pod because apparently before i assumed

a head start administrating and, 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 soon is a main deed was due to the h as in aids pandemic. so everything was against that was trying to teach the last 6, but in relation to this it might what might happen to. so all i ever saw were campaigns on t z at school. so my idea of 6 was like, eventually you have like the zillow creepy things that get into your blood and sweat to dry. the english. that's all very scary. so basically you are laughing, was it the same for your inputs? one, my 1st interaction with the idea, sex sexuality was actually did home thinking of 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. wish i'm going i what are these that's when we initiated the conversation, my mother initiated the conversation on sex and protection and obviously coming

from the to i not a v. so it sounds like it's a little feel based. uh, education i've you have, i'm going to put you on the spot you 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 relate to man. you know how you car yourself in your t me is. yeah, and it is, there is a why i am the lady why i'm 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 6 in wanda? it's a little bit different because i know it's growing up. i got the 1st introduction when i was really young, draco, 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'd be, you know, guessing. so this is a car so that's, that's

a very audi and then went on a car to and that's way to use that. then think about 622. it doesn't happen very much these days, but yeah, you can begin to of these 2 to 286 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 that's 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 advocate accepts at the, at the nighttime, you're not going to 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 keep 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. uh, what can we do to integrate some of these cultural practices into sex education? i feel like there's one that occurred to use to, to encourage people to talk about 6. we had the people who were supposed to teach you about 66, and i come on c o o p a as. but when it 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 to might accessing 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 sophistication start 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, the culture you'll, you'll have like a young boys. they go up to the mountain, they get circumcise and they taught 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 a version 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 goals. 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 in a relationship with a guy or you are in the talking stages of the guy, one of the few questions 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 most people found. but you and you say 5,

it is outrageous. your mommy, you know, your mom cannot believe what you say. you know, the most of the people you will have slept with. 7 that is what the reason that i'm not 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 cycle and not have sexual relations. but him, he is a parking every way, you know, he is everywhere and it is not an issue us. okay. so you have, 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 solutions, some ideas you have on how we could make 6, not a conversation, the child 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 the children any no way that they are comfortable and happy with wherever they added we'd be aboard these. all right, and finally it took you some see young people already having conversations on sex and sexuality with other peers, for example, um at how university campus we've created

a space called bozza where we got the 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 that and sexual liberties within these bars and what that means in the african context. right. and you 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 resulting. 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
