Empowering Young People

Megamix

Available for over a year

Sexual education for teens needs to come from teens, not men in suits. That’s the message from a group of 12 young people who met in London as part of the Youth Committee Meeting of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. The teenagers – who travelled from countries as far away as India and New Zealand – believe that sexual exploration is only dangerous if it’s based on ignorance, so they want to empower young people all over the world with sexual education and spread their mantra: Get informed. Get involved. Get responsible. Also on the show, we meet 19-year-old Asian girls, Sussed and Sassy (otherwise known as Nealpa and Jossie), to talk about their magazine column Snoop, which is a scathing but hilarious view on Asian life in Britain; and we join the Animal Aid Youth Group outside one of London’s top fur stores as they stage a demonstration against cruelty to trapped and caged animals.
