Parents in Bugesera District have been asked to refrain from lying to their children when they ask about reproductive health, as it could lead to information retrieval being given and not being put at risk.
This was announced during a training program organized by the Youth Mentoring Agents for Development Organization, Yomado, during which policy and legal issues related to reproductive health were explained. The training was held in Bugesera District in Ruhuha Sector.
This is expected to help in the discussion of adolescents and adolescents about reproductive health at an early age, as well as helping them to reduce the number of adolescents who become infected with sexually transmitted infections.
Yomado‘s CEO, Nshimiyimana Emmanuel, said there had been a number of instances where children became pregnant as a result of rumors circulating by their peers.
“It simply came to our notice then. Some of the consequences include premature pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, premature ejaculation, dropout and more.
”Reproductive health expert Dr Nzabonimpa Anicet said parents should have the courage to tell their children about reproduction.
“Parents should educate their children early on about reproductive health. The parent should talk to the child about reproductive health without lying to him or her, and the other person starts by saying, “This is a tree,” not to say that it is a pipe, but to say that it is his or her gender in his or her name. “She is OK. She is OK.
Nzabonimpa said that when a child is deceived, he or she collects false information and seeks information that could endanger his or her life.
Mukashyaka, who attended the training, said the lessons learned helped them, and that they were going to use them to explain their adolescents and teens about their reproduction.
“Even though the child deserves to be involved, the family, especially the parents, play a big role in helping the child to know reproductive health and thus get out of the confusion and get real information about his or her life.”
Mugiraneza, who has four children and lives in Ngeruka sector, said: There are those who take information from all over the world, from their peers, and find that it is not the risk of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. ”
Ruhuha Sector Executive Secretary Vital Ruzagiriza encouraged parents to take part in the upbringing of their children especially in reproductive health, urging them to be the catalyst for positive change, and passing on the knowledge they have been given to other parents.
“If you have children at school, take this information from here and share it with others to better teach your children about reproductive health because it will help them to avoid those who deceive them with various gifts aimed at sexually assaulting them.
“The training was sponsored by Plan International and is expected to reach other parents in different parts of the country.
