Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 37768, member: 636"] BeFree gives free birth control to girls starting at age 16 across Namibia. Past health boss Kamwi thinks teens need more facts about body changes before accepting these devices. He wants kids to learn about stopping babies rather than just taking free stuff. Kamwi says Windhoek has fewer pregnant teens than other parts, like the Kavango area. Women's helper Rosa worries doctors put things inside young bodies without telling them all the bad effects. Rosa recalls her youth when medicine people never shared what shots might do later in life. No laws tell who can hand teens these items, says former doctor Shangula. BeFree asked local teens what they wanted before starting their program, says leader Theron. Nurse Kavetuna believes longer-lasting options help when small clinics run empty of pills. Doctor Sichimwa thinks arm implants work better for teens than inside parts because girls can remove them if problems happen. [/QUOTE]
