ABC of all the questions we never dare to ask

Staunton, Irene (Ed.)

In many cultures in Africa, traditional family structures and roles have been eroded: as a result of western cultural influence and the HIV/AIDS crisis. Children and adolescents are therefore often lacking basic information about relationships, sex, gender, the human body, sexual health and STDs. This resource book is designed to fill this gap. Drawing on data acquired from interviews with young people in the southern African region, it provides an up to date source of information on the major issues affecting young people.
