� Lack of IEC material and penal models
� Some of the old people had problems being educated by the youth a challenge that they were
able to overcome eventually.
� Girls having problem with sanitary towels (pads) during their menstrual circle
� Many cases of child sexual exploitation encountered very young girls as young as 13 with a child.
