Simon Asafu said the Comprehensive Sexuality Education has empowered him with the right information which has enabled him to make informed sexual reproductive health decisions.

Dorothy Paundi a member of the Zathu Youth club said the information had empowered the young people with the right knowledge that made them to effectively protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections and early unplanned pregnancies.

“In CSE we learn about family planning including HIV and AIDS. Through these sessions, we have been empowered to access sexual reproductive health services from the clinic and we have also been able to reach out to our fellow young people with the same information,” she said.

Samuel Grey who also participates in the CSE groups at Golomoti said that the CSE information that the youths were accessing had greatly impacted on the sexual reproductive health rights amongst young people in the area.

“Before we started accessing this information, most of us were engaged in risky behaviors that were a threat to our health, but since when we started accessing this comprehensive sexuality education we are able to make the right sexual health decisions,” he said.
