Sexuality education is an extremely controversial topic in countries like Pakistan where any dialogue regarding sexual practices is considered taboo. Yet, it is a country with a high prevalence of abortions and sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs). Current knowledge about such issues in the general public is also very poor. Hence, it is extremely important to discuss the advantages of having sexual education programs in Pakistan and analyze the current impact of an absence of such programs and public awareness campaigns.
在巴基斯坦这样的国家,性教育是一个极具争议的话题,在那里,任何有关性行为的对话都被视为禁忌。然而,该国堕胎和性传播疾病(STIs)的患病率很高。普通公众对这类问题的现有认知也非常匮乏。因此,探讨在巴基斯坦开展性教育项目的益处,并分析缺乏此类项目及公众宣传活动目前所产生的影响,是极其重要的。
