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.
