General description:

It is important to point out that sex is not just a matter of adults, adolescents are more and more engaged in sexual practices. There is a high percentage of sexual activity among young people between 14 and 22 years old. thus, sex as beautiful as it can be, just as natural with so much importance in the eyes of people and especially in the eyes of our teenagers, comes with its pitfalls.

the commission acting in the sexual and reproductive health including the STHE of the AHEM finds it necessary that there is progress in the sexual education of our young people in Haiti and commits to work in this direction.this is how the commission’s committee aims to educate and educate young people about sexually transmitted diseases and about family planning.
