Hey, Like I said earlier, to the best of my knowledge, no schools have safe sex programs as a part of the curriculum. but I do know that B.P Memorial Health Foundation had a fully developed and implemented program on youth reproductive Health and Sexuality. Again, the fact that there aren't more organizations is age old notions of what children do or rather what society thinks they ought to do. Everyone knows that the youth in Nepal in recent years, have become increasingly active sexually but God forbid we talk about it openly and pressure the education department to start safe sex education because that would be seen as condoning pre-marital sex and worse yet, that the people that teach are actually encouraging the behaviour as oppsed to helping make sure that youth are not infected becuase of their stupidity/ignorance. The youth themselves really shoulder the burden here--this is the electronic generation so if they can spend hours on the internet, clearly, they have the time and the knowledge to figure out safe sex pages and get the information that keeps them alive and healthy... I must say that I am horribly dissappointed with a majoirty of the Sajha folks--why the deafening silence?..it's the same names again and again on this thread..which just shows the amount of work that we need to do to get people to start paying attention.
