Reuters: Pakistani village gives girls pioneering sex education class
“…Sex education is common in Western schools but these ground-breaking lessons are taking place in deeply conservative rural Pakistan, a Muslim nation of 180 million people. Publicly talking about sex in Pakistan is taboo and can even be a death sentence. … But teachers operating in the village of Johi in poverty-stricken Sindh province say most families there support their sex education project…” (Ali, 2/24).
