Ghana publishes sexuality education guidelines
In Ghana, the government has published guidelines for "comprehensive sexual education" aimed at students aged 4 to 24. The document has sparked controversy among some religious groups, but it has also been welcome by some parents. To the South African ear, the word Bushman sounds wrong, because it has been used to deride and denigrate people from a culture that goes back thousands of years. But Piet Berendse has started a media company to reclaim both the heritage and the name of his people by creating stories from their perspective. Moroccan journalist Hajar Raissouni has been sent to jail, accused of having sex outside of marriage and also for having procured an abortion. Both acts are illegal in Morocco.
