Cabinet told that Sexually Transmitted Diseases Affecting Young Girls in the Country

One official from the Ministry of Social Transformation reported that sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) plague young girls, which generate other challenges because the diseases are usually not treated. When those diseases go untreated, young mothers give birth to children with autism, mental health challenges, and are even more difficult to raise. The Cabinet agreed that more public education is required to deter predatory behaviour.  The Cabinet agreed that there must be greater collaboration between Social Transformation and Health; more early childhood education, special-needs education and more resources to fund programmes, are all needed.
