Antwort: Re: [WSIS CS-Plenary] DECALRATION BY THE YOUTH OF GHANA AT THE NATIONAL YOUTH INFORMATION SOCIETY CAMPAIGN

It's funny Ralf but I had just read the same comment and thought: this
seems a very poignant statement of what it means for youth to be part of a
society living with the threat of HIV-AIDS. And what about young girls
seeing their future educational and career chances threatened by teenage
pregnancies?
I too would be interested to see how this resounds with other people on the
list from different backgrounds from our very protected one in Europe.

Great to know the meeting was possible - even if only 120 young people had
the chance to take part. It seems forward-looking with its emphasis on
teacher training.

The gender balance of the group would interest me.

Do I understand it correctly: This means real sex, not online sex,
right?
This is interesting. Can you explain why and how this link between "no
sex" and "bridge the digital divide" was made? It is not very obvious
for somebody with a different background (Europe).
