Sex education is a hot topic around the world. In Hong Kong, the Education Bureau has released teaching materials that suggest teenagers who want to have sex with each other should 鈥済o out to play badminton together鈥� instead. The materials also encourage students to 鈥渞esist鈥� pornography and exercise self-control. That鈥檚 opened a discussion about sex education and whether officials understand the needs and concerns of young people.

Koey Lee, a 麻豆社 journalist in Hong Kong, explains how young people have reacted to the guidance.

We also hear from Yuri Ohlrichs - a certified sexologist and expert in sex education at Rutgers. That鈥檚 an organisation in The Netherlands that works to improve sexuality education and information for young people.

And Yeside Olayinka-Agbola, a sexual health educator in Lagos, Nigeria, explains how she is using apps like Instagram to help young Nigerians get sexual health information they鈥檙e struggling to find elsewhere.
