During one of our HealthChat sessions with Nurse Vee, held on 11th October 2024 the International Day of the Girl Child, we visited a Secondary School where we discussed menstrual hygiene, personal hygiene, sexual reproductive health and rights, and comprehensive sex education with the School Girls, a young girl bravely asked about the urges that come with ovulation and wanting to be with a man. This question struck a chord in my heart, highlighting a significant gap in education provided by parents and teachers. Many young girls are left to navigate these natural feelings with little guidance, often turning to the internet, succumbing to peer pressure, or falling prey to irresponsible men who take advantage of their innocence. These girls simply need answers and support, yet they are at risk of sexual molestation or even rape. It's imperative that we, as a community, step up to provide comprehensive education and open discussions about these topics. We must equip our young ones with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships. **Call to Action:** Let's work together to ensure that our youth receive the education and support they deserve. Parents, educators, and community leaders, let's break the silence and start these vital conversations. Together, we can create a safer and more informed environment for our children. #SexualReproductiveHealth #ComprehensiveSexEducation #YouthEmpowerment #CommunitySupport #BreakTheSilence #HealthChat #NurseVee #Healthchatwithnrsvee
