​Sexual and Reproductive Health training

There are many myths that prevail amongst youth in Malawi with regards to Sexual and Reproductive Health. Including that contraceptives lead to sterility and/or infertility. In July 2017, a discussion on Sexual and Reproductive Health with the aim of dispelling some of these myths were held at Mbando.  The youth face many challenges including poor access to contraceptives. Youth could not access any “counselling” or knowledge on sexual and reproductive health. Often girls were uncomfortable approaching older women to request for contraceptives at the clinic because they feared being judged immoral. The need for family planning and importance of taking care of the reproductive system to avoid injuries and infection was included in the training.
