15andCounting - Sexual Rights for All

NOW TAKE ACTION by signing our petition http://15andCounting.org and demand better access to sexual health services and education for young people.

Global Youth Demanding Action to Improve Sexual Health Services.

The unacceptable facts:
•The leading cause of death of girls and young women (15-19 years old) globally is pregnancy and childbirth
•There are 60 million child brides world-wide, increasing to 100 million within ten years
•Each day, some 500,000 young people, mostly young women, are infected with a Sexually Transmitted Infection (excluding HIV)
•Young people (15-24 years old) account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide
•Only 17 per cent of sexually active young people use contraceptives
•Two million girls are genitally mutilated every year
•Today, more than 200 million women do not have access to the modern contraceptives they desire

A global education of sexual health and rights is very important. Sexual education is lacking in 3rd world nations. Equally alarming is the fact that even in "civilized" nations such as the US there is no quality or consistent sex-ed. Our future depends on the deliberate evolution. Please take a look at some ideas that will help families and children manage their sexuality and sexual decisions. Sexual Futurist has some helpful information.

Funny to see that look of incredulity on the face of the guy at 1:16 where he says "When we get the information, we feel why did Mum and Dad never talk about this?" - he explains just how hard it is to grow up in a country where the whole culture attaches stigma and shame to sex.
