drag queens. miss ground the facts. i'm still saying that way it out loud. me. sounds 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 the all 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

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 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. yes, 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 flights and what they should do or shouldn't do. well, if i say you can also see by offering professional advice, they hope to create more awareness and prevent teenagers from dropping out of school at an early age guides. but as we have various activities for the school, for example, we have lectures and we're going to have a wide range of professional to address different issues around sexual health. i'm

skipped. the main main focus 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 2 nurses 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 of mute, episode will be back soon with new stories, high level to 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 get 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 t godly. 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 to 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? so in is a main deed was due to the h as in aids pandemic. so everything was against that was trying to teach the 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 these little creepy things that get into your blood and sweat to dry. the english. that's all very scary. so basically your life be, wasn't the same for your inputs. one, my 1st interaction with the idea success to ality 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 term. 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 the to i not a v. so it sounds like it's a little feel based into kayesha ivy. i'm going to put you into sports 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 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 who i am today. yeah. i actually want to hear from emma because she is. we call them some guys who is here, 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'd be a no guessing. so this is a car so that's, that's a very audi and then went on the 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 be introduced to, to, to the, 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 go into contact with the information about sex and not the 6, 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 success. productive helps. for example, that some who have told this, like, if you, if you do advocate accepts 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 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 is. but when it to standard t o k mean and wind, we started to run that scene. so kind of 6, ready to and thinks related when you want to, to you it's my, it's, i seen 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 the house. that's a dictation start and it's different from men and women, or girls and boys in your culture that back home, the culture come from a part of the plus a 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 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, is actually actually in a, in can now when you're getting the relationship with the guy. oh, 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 say my 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 asking you that has probably most people found. but you and you say 5, it is outrageous. your mom is, you know, your mom can not believe which is the most of the people you will have slept with.

the dog inside is what the, i don't even like you mind. according to the man, according to the man i should, i should be prescribed to, you know, i shall be in my bubble, be in my suckle and not have sexual relations, but him, he is a parking every way. you know, he is everywhere and it is not an issue. uh so. okay. so you had, you had a different view points, right? yeah, i have a little bit of a different experience. and with that, 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 jen stripe. by the way, we're speaking strictly here from a heads 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 that's routed in mystery of secrecy, but more open. i mean the healthy way. first we need to get the shame off. uh, 6. it is normal. we need to step to 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 so see young people already having conversations on sex and sexuality with other peers, for example. um and how university campus we've created a space called bar as a way we got the to have conversation on topics that kind of

controversial. and we've had conversations around homeless actuality for example, and we've talked about women's pursuit of that and sexual liberties within these bars. and what that means in the african context, right? and the guys have been free enough to open up on 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 ask me. thank you for watching the that's what a sounding yes from me to. we should 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, that's 77 percent. let me take you through to other questions. we asked fast. the 6

a top 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 in gauging 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 partner? is there a right time? our very own sex, that's kaz. mix 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 maria bowes. 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,

and 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 the relationship 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. intimate then 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 bank scouts 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 mother to another . and i will be, can you, i mean, i just feel is leading the fight against such stereotypes. becoming a mazda is a life event that he's mostly mexico joy or the transitioning to motherhood is

modifies. do or 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 was when i became my mother, things change and a good kind of good that respects of and shredding. that's it. okay. now we can hear from her because she's become like a good motherhood in kenya, as in many parts of african societies, 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 how she would, she did have too much funds or if she becomes a single mother, or if she is clear, i mean there is no stranger to the effect of such your time. and one of the things that amino has done is to phone that digital thoughtful mothering the woman. it has voted to hybrid events. where can women meet to talk about breaking the mother who

is 2 types? i have been all of these, most of us. i have been divorced my that i have been them not being able to breast feed mother. i have been you know, have been taught to no domestic violence. my, the i have, you know, had my mother going to present like, what would you like to speak to? who is your demographic? demographic is gently as she is one of the women. we seem to another rings and women movement. she had her 1st child a 35 and she 2 has faced studio types of people who are interactive, especially in the workplace. in that time, i was to go to a certain church that to do a very strong, even though faith looked at me like why would you choose kind of 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 safe spaces, once you take on this role of life, mother, you lose your giving joy. so you're given that space to be an individual. yes, we know you have your child, we know you love them, but you also have these feelings that you need to process models expected to find the joy in their families and the children. so what happens when women like jacking and amino find to enjoy in other activities outside of motherhood? of course of do 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 them that's right. no one has the right to

decide however my back 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 are criminalized on the law and people who identify us trends. i've also faced prosecution yet, malawi, that's how we create a community which is fighting for its place in society. one of its members is a huge l. a. s a t, a middle ground, a. 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 was 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 they will test whatever you want. and it's legal. they still not going to

like him, but he's ever they crossed 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 get a 0 g g. so who dresses over normal sides? i am actually also from like joe book and like sol, nancy got the same time, but this is 15 minutes. before this 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 kind of go to because there is a fear of being attacked physically attacked. and the thing about it and allow has mouth mentality. so if one person goes on, everyone goes off. if i had to 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 your 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 gemini, 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 view for the year is here to make sure that the buses running is here to pay the bill so that the lights are on is here to make sure that this use of there is here to make sure that whatever bad things happen to him and he's 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 them 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 in the community in malawi, when we rolled with the 1st um rainbow night. um the response we had, we had the toner 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 a part of it because of the ideas well i just, 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 l busy 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, see anyone's lies such an amazing face. and he feels like when and there's a lot of joy you would say, yeah. like on the the sense of humor the piece and that he is because he's going to send 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 hughes journey is far from over,

but he's determined to continue with his art while living his best by a question is i who all the best but is arts while living as 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 eddie mike, a junior and i'll leave you with some music from being credible semi. so next time i for now the
