I wonder if people would be even thinking about sex (let alone safe sex!) when there's no food to eat or a roof over their heads!?UN to send 220,000 condoms to Burma
Bangkok: The UN will send nearly a quarter of a million condoms into cyclone-hit Myanmar to help needy survivors with no access to contraceptives, a UN official said on Tuesday.
So far the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) says it has sent 72 800 condoms to survivors struggling to maintain their family planning after the storm hit in early May. A total of 218,400 condoms will be delivered, UNFPA aid advisor Chaiyos Kunanusont said. Flights are also carrying reproductive health kits, which include razors for cutting umbilical cords, clean sheets for delivering babies and enough contraceptive pills and injections to last 3 390 women three months.

The UN would probably (I sure hope so) have decided to send stuff to help pregnant women out, and also added a few condoms to kinda fill the package. But what gets highlighted in the media (with the 'catchy' headline) is that a quarter of a million condoms are flying out to Burma!
TOI rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen there are tens of thousands of people dying and being rendered homeless ... amidst all this they are concerned about is flying condoms!!!
... And even UN bhi hadh kar raha hai Wonder what would the 'junta' in Mynmar do/ have done about it !!!!
