Pro-Sex-Education.

“There are two different types of extremities in the handling of sexual exposures in the global community. One the one hand, there are nations, mostly in the Third World, and to some extent, the United States under a Republican leadership, where rigid demands for total abstinence are made. The situation is worse in Middle-eastern authoritarian societies where posturing political and religious leaders are not only demanding for total sexual abstinence but also have often relied on draconian laws to discourage female teenagers and single young adults from premarital sex. And, on the other hand, are some nations in the Western Hemisphere, where kids even as young as 12 are simply left to their devices. Young people are left to take sides with either Pro-life or Pro-Choice. No one bothers to introduce them to a 'middle-of-the road school of thought' such as Pro-sex-education by which they will be equipped with appropriate knowledge about safe sex, among other things.” Femi Olawole – Author of The Price of Ignorance.
