Re: Sex education in Pakistan
If the masses of people, especially the poor, are educated about sex even in a basic way, it would have much benefit. The last time my hubby went over, there was a servant lady who brought her newborn with her when she came to clean the house. She begged my husband to take her with him, to give the baby girl a good life and care for her. She already had 5 other children and they went hungry sometimes because they were too poor to feed so many kids. They have no money for birth control and no clue as to the timing of cycles and when would be the best time to avoid having sex. If this couple were knowledgeable about the rythym method then perhaps they would be able to avoid pregnancy at least avoid it as often.
Midwives need to be more educated too. Pakistan has a very poor record when it comes to inant mortality and this is due in a good part to poor hygeine. There is no public health system in place and if you cannot afford proper healthcare then theres upward of a 70 percent chance that your child will die before age 5. Thats bad. REALLY bad.
Tax-paying DOES have benefits. In US, we ALL complain about paying so much taxes. Yet, while they may be sometimes excessive, we DO get healthcare and education. Not perfectly for sure. But its a much better situation than having nothing at all.
Education and access to services, even very basic services, is very vital. And paying taxes and avoiding corruption and bribery is the only way to get it going.
