Africa: Too Young to Ask? Young Researchers Challenge How Africa Talks About Sexuality Education

Young researchers in Mombasa, Kenya, have launched an initiative to challenge existing cultural and social barriers surrounding sexuality education in Africa. The project highlights a significant disconnect between youth seeking information and adults who believe children are too young to engage in discussions regarding sexual health and education.

By centering the voices of young people, the researchers aim to foster more transparent conversations about reproductive health. The initiative underscores a broader regional debate regarding the age-appropriateness of sexual education and the necessity of including youth perspectives in policy and social discourse.
