30 BROADWAY SCHOOL GIRLS PREGNANT

Over 30 school girls have in the last two years fallen pregnant at Broadway secondary school in Kabwe.

This came to light when Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube and staff from the Kabwe District education board toured the school.

Head teacher, Kizito Kalonga says the school recorded 21 cases of pregnant girls last year while so far this year 12 are already expecting.

Mr Kalonga says most of the girls that have fallen pregnant rent houses in urban Kabwe because their parent’s homes are in the rural parts of Kabwe district

He was however quick to exonerate male teachers as being responsible.

Myth 2: Straight people don’t have to worry about HIV infection

Fact: HIV is 16-18 times more likely to be transmitted through a**l s*x rather than vaginal s*x. But not only men have a**l s*x.
Furthermore, the definition MSM (men who have s*x with men) was established to define ALL men who have s*x with men, regardless of their s*xual orientation.

concerns us all, and believing that one is safe just because of their s*xual orientation is very dangerous.
Every time you sleep with someone, you also sleep with their past.

Thanks to .ca for this amazing campaign!!!

CHILD MARRIAG
"Three months ago, my parents sat me down and told me I was no longer their responsibility. They wanted me to move out and start a life of my own. When stranger paid a bride to my parents, things moved faster than I expected. I had no say in the matter. I didn't choose this life and I'm not happy here. I want to escape but I am afraid my parents wouldn't take me back. Sometimes it is hard to defy our parents because it is disrespectful, but we can't continue to allow them to make choices that are bad for us. It was my wish to finish school and become a nurse but I guess that will never happen because my husband won't allow me to further my studies. Now instead of going to school, I spend the whole day doing chores, washing dishes, cleaning and cooking.' , 17 years old.

Let's all stand up to fight against teen pregnancy in Zambia. Together we can do it..

Wow that's amazing!!!

A s*x worker’s view on South Africa’s latest plans to beat HIV South Africa recently launched a five-year plan to improve the country’s response to HIV, TB and s*xually transmitted infections.

One of the answers someone give on the question we asked, the question was should we teach about condoms or distribute them in churches?

OK I have a negative and positive view to this......
* It may encourage the people you're distributing these condoms to continue having s*x and we all know that the church the Bible in particular discourages s*x before marriage and adultery as this is not right!

* This act also makes people think that they can sleep with anyone as long they have won a condom,hence high risks of r**e and defilement

* It may also lessen the spread of HIV/AIDS and early pregnancies as people will think of protection first before having s*x

* But if you ask me I'd suggest that as an organization you work on discouraging s*x...tell the people about the dangers and all the consequences of s*x so that the use of condoms is minimized plus condoms do break so they are not 100%
