Thyolo youths top in abortion, sex diseases rate
Officials in Thyolo are brain storming on how best to deal with high unsafe abortion and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rate among youths of 18 and below
Youth officer for Thyolo Doreen Mbendera says recent hospital statistics for the last three months are alarming.
“For instance, out of the 100 unsafe abortion recorded in the past three month, 32 involves girls and out of the 100 sexually transmitted infection,36 involves the youth all of whom are below 18,” she said.
She said this means the youth in the tea growing district practise unsafe sex.
Mbendera said no wonder statistics indicate that 18 percent of the youth in the district are HIV positive, saying this is a high prevalence rate for any age group.
The youth officer also said it was worrying that only 20 percent of the youth access family planning services.
She therefore said there was need for a meeting involving all stakeholders from both the government and nongovernmental organisations to see how to deal with the problems youth in Thyolo are facing.

Countrymen, Honestly, this must be a concern to every well meaning Malawian. Those who feel this is oky simply because they come from other districts (not from Thyolo) are just being naive about public health issues. This could actually be reflective of what the situation could be in other districts where studies on the matter have not taken place or where stakeholders have decided to remain mum for fear of being declared ineffective. Let me thank my long-time acquaintance and work colleague, Doreen, for coming out in the public and say the truth about the district where she is working.… Read more »

I was born in the early 80s. You could count yourself lucky if you happened to steal a glance at a girl’s thighs let alone her underwear. Young boys and girls were advised strongly against engaging in early sex. Most heeded those pieces of advice. No longer nowadays. The youths are actively engaging in sexual activities hence the high unsafe abortions, STIs (HIV/AIDS). Sometimes you would liken their behaviour to that of dogs on heat. Once their lust sets in motion it becomes difficult to stop them! And things are getting from bad to worse. This is partly down to… Read more »
