DECREASING THE STATS ON TEENAGE PREGNANCY

Submitted by Pinkdollero on Mon, 09/02/2009 - 16:22
I think parents should be more open to their children abt reproductive issues since i feel TEENAGE PREGNANCY is a very burning issue amongst teenagers (girls & boys). It might be a mother's responsibility to carry a child for nine months but after the child is born who shud b responsible? Seemingly that young galz have 2 drop out of skul 2 be the parent while the father continues with his studies.

ICT's and me

Submitted by Jonker_12 on Mon, 09/02/2009 - 16:20
I some times shudder just weighing thoughts about Information and communication technoogy. This sentiment purely stems from experience in the field. I work with participants and benificiaries that worry more of where the next bread money will come from. Not to mention the magical development-speak words of access and affordability. A point to consider is the roll out of the Universal Services Agency equipping Multi-purpose community Centres with telecentres. All good and well, but if a particular centre do not have access to electricity and a telephone line then i rest my case.

Man are gaining respect in the community, while young girls are loosing their childhood. At nowadays childrens are not allowed to play in the playing park without an adult supervision. Because they fear for their childs life. Abduction and rape is everyday life, So young girls are the victim of rape by man. Man were suppose to protect their childrens but now that has changed.

The voice through self-expression!

Submitted by Jay24 on Mon, 09/02/2009 - 15:52
There are many topics that reaches the hearts of individuals around the globe, yet people tend to be hesitant to voice their opinions. Then there are those who are burning with the desire for a story to tell. The words that are unspoken fall upon a page, spelling out the true and unseen and unheard issues of the people's hearts...

The difference between gender issues in Denmark and South Africa

Submitted by hogm on Mon, 09/02/2009 - 15:52
There are big differences in how we refer to gender issues in Denmark and South Africa. In Denmark those issues are mostly concerned about, that women receive a lower salary and have harder working conditions. Furthermore it is characteristic that boys/men feel, that they live and grow up in a women-dominated world. This is because e.g. most nurses and kindergartenteachers are women, but also because my experience is, that many women tend to dominate in their relationsships with men. It seems as though the women want the genders to be equal, not only at work but also at home.

Change is good

Submitted by Jody C on Mon, 09/02/2009 - 15:30
Activism speaks of working toward positive change. This change we consider to be important. This dawning of this change we all strive to be part of. We NEED to be a part of it. We were all created with a percentage of imperfection. And that is what makes us Human. We must acknowledge that some of our imperfections can and must be fixed. We are living in a world that is ever changing, a world that is accepting of all, a world that is growing to look past differences and see only people.
