The Sound of Silence

Summary: This report finds that pupils in Africa
& Asia are badly let down by their
schools in terms of HIV/AIDS
education. Many problems are to
blame including: stigma, fear,
embarrassment, lack of teacher
training & religion. In Catholic
countries such as Kenya, condom
use is disapproved of & abstinence
promoted. The report makes
suggestions for ways to overcome
these problems.
