Condom Use Report: There have been shocking revelations in the new report of the World Health Organization (WHO). It has been reported that the use of condoms and contraceptive pills is decreasing among adolescents, which is a matter of concern. The report claims that about one-third of boys and girls in European countries admitted that they did not use condoms or contraceptive pills during their last sexual intercourse. Because, they are not comfortable. There has been no change in this habit since 2018. This has increased the risk of diseases caused by unsafe sex and unwanted pregnancies.
Girls who do not take birth control pills –
According to the report, the number of girls who used condoms or contraceptive pills last time has decreased from 63 percent to 57 percent. This means that almost one-third of teenagers do not use condoms during sexual intercourse.
Know why-
According to a survey by the World Health Organization, the use of contraceptive pills has remained stable from 2014 to 2022. 26 percent of 15-year-old girls use pills during sex. 33% of adolescents from lower-middle class families did not use condoms or contraceptive pills, while 25% of adolescents from upper-middle class families did.
What does WHO data say?
WHO recently conducted a survey of 42 countries in Europe and the Middle East. Which included 2,42,000 adolescents aged 15 years. According to the questions asked to them, the number of boys who used condoms the last time they had sex decreased from 70% in 2014 to 61% in 2022.
WHO Europe Director Hans Kluge says that even today sex education is not being provided in many European countries. Due to lack of education about the dangers and harms of unsafe sex, young people are having sex without condoms, which is also increasing the problem.
