The Executive Director of CAMFED Ghana, Fairuza Safian, has expressed concern over the high level of misinformation surrounding sexual reproductive health (SRH) in Ghana.
Speaking about a recent scoping study conducted with support from Trenz Consult, she revealed that many people are unaware of existing SRH policies in the country.
According to her, the study, which covered selected regions and communities, found out that cultural practices and societal norms discouraged open discussions on SRH at home. "There is also strong resistance to educating school children about the topic.
As a result, young people rely on their peers for information, much of which is inaccurate" "Many do not even know where to access the right SRH services or how to seek support when needed," she explained.
