Why youth? Because youth has important role for a country.
Youth reproductive and sexual risks in Indonesia region is still relatively high and needs attention from all concern of individual and groups across variant sectors. Youth diversity becomes one of important issues that need to be acknowledged in the pursuit of the fulfillment of youth access to reproductive and sexual health and rights. But sexual and reproductive stuffs are sensitive issues in Indonesian societies. This problem need to be resolved.
Just talk about youth sexual and reproductive rights in my country, Indonesia. Some weeks ago, students of junior and senior high schools had to attend final exam. Many of girl couldn’t attend the final exam. Why? Because they had pregnant. The A pregnant for 2 months, the B pregnant for 6 months. The principal confused about what should they do. Whether pregnant-students could attend the final exams or not.
From the case above, i saw the lack of sexual and reproductive rights for the youth. The youth has right to getting sex education. Sex education is the right of the youth. And the surroundings have to provide what the youth needs about sexual and reproductive rights. The surroundings mean family, school, play ground, government, and so on. The parents especially. The parents should be aware of media. Media teach and give notice about sex. What is sex, sexuality, and contraception. If the parents don't push schools to teach sex education comprehensively, their children, who also known as the youth (the youth is people 15-25 age. I am right, don’t i?), would learn about sex and its stuff from media, such internet media. And i believe the parents hate the way their children looking for Information about sex through media, especially internet media. Because the media can’t tell their children which is good or which is no good.
Failure to address youth’s reproductive health need is a matter of human rights and social justice. The youth has a right to be informed about reproductive lives, which is good or bad. Introduce the youth about scientific progress in health care.
I believe there are many ways to giving sex education for the youth in a fun way. Like making games, singing songs. Just make sexual and reproductive issue are no more sensitive issues first. Then find out fun ways to spread sexual and reproductive rights for the youth. Something monotonous will leading the youth back to the media such as internet media. No boundaries which are good or no good.
