ICTs for sexuality education

Learning about Living (LaL) is a Nigerian based project that uses mobile phones and computers to teach young people about HIV/AIDS prevention and sexuality. The project has three aims

* Utilise information and communication technology (ICT) to equip Nigerian teenagers with the relevant skills to enable them make informed decisions about their sexual health, prevent HIV/AIDS and gender based violence, and associated mortality and morbidity

* Improve discussion and information on sexuality education and reduce socio-cultural tendencies that lead to reluctance in discussing these issues with young people

* Increase gender equality by reducing the prevalence of and offering positive alternatives to gender constructs that assume male superiority and the acceptability of violence against women in the Nigerian society.

The project provides a free question and answer facility using either free SMS messaging, email or free voice support which is especially useful in emergency situations. This also means that young people can phone anonymously.
