The Federal Government, AIDS Healthcare Foundation Nigeria, and other stakeholders have advocated for strengthening of Comprehensive Sexuality Education to enhance health outcomes and protection from Sexually Transmitted Infections and violence.
“For example, we get 4,000 HIV new infection globally among young people age 15 to 24. and Africa takes the biggest chunk of that. “Contrary to popular opinion, a lot of parents, leaders say CSE promote promiscuity, but research tells us that when young people have access to age appropriate CSE, it stops the from being promiscuous.
“So that they can make informed choices and not contract HIV and other STIs, as well as reducing the risks of unwanted pregnancies.” “But when you equip a young person with what is right, even when faced with wrong information, pornography and others, but the fact that the young mind has already been formed based on the information he or she has acquired, they will find it repulsive. And know that it affects their mindset and derail their paths.”
