According to the World Health Organisation (WHO),a young Person is any individual between the ages of 9-30years which makes up about 40% of any country's population.Every young person is entitled to quality education,adequate health care, favorable economic And environmental condition And gender equality. If proper knowledge is not instilled in any average young person,we would be faced with high crime rate,high maternal mortality And child mortality,decreased fertility rate,increased gender inequality,epidermic outburst of diseases like HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, malaria,Sexual transmitted diseases,teenage pregnancy And of course increase in Abortion rate.
Every country needs to understand that every young person who is in a stable economic,health And environmental condition will be faced by less societal related issues And this can primarily be achieved through education and giving them the correct information. It begins with the federal government,the state,the local government,the wards,the schools,the religious houses. it begins with you And me,it begins with us.
