LEADING WOMEN
AND THEIR SEXUAL HEALTH…..
At the Leadership,
Empowerment, Achievement and Development (LEAD) Camp, Dr. Toke Oke of Brookside
Medical Practices talked about the dangers in having unprotected sex.
She talked about sexual assault, STI's and STD's especially the very common ones
such as HPV, HIV & AIDS, STAPHYLOCCOCI, Hepatitis A&B. Dr. Toke Oke
emphasised on Yeast infection as the most common of all which often surfaces as
Candidiasis. On the subject of Candida infection, she educated the girls by
letting them know that Candidiasis is often times not a sexually transmitted
infection but can also be caused by imbalanced diet.
During this session, the
girls were exceptionally inquisitive about the subject of sex and all that
comes with it. Most of the questions asked seem to be inferred by the movie
'Dry' which the girls saw on the night of their arrival.
The facilitator, Dr.
Toke Oke after session, expressed her astonishment to the girls' warm and
mature attitude towards information about sexual health, as they were not shy
to talk about or be spoken to on the subject.
