Young people’s health at risk from fall in condom use, warns WHO

"Age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education remains neglected in many countries and, where it is available, it has increasingly come under attack in recent years on the false premise that it encourages sexual behaviour, when the truth is that equipping young people with the right knowledge at the right time leads to optimal health outcomes linked to responsible behaviour and choices. 

"We are reaping the bitter fruit of these reactionary efforts, with worse to come, unless governments, health authorities, the education sector and other essential stakeholders … take steps to rectify it."
