Cellphone apps fight Africa’s sexual taboos vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

The brilliant young woman’s life may have been spared if she had the kind of apps that are available today that discreetly inform young people about sex, Akhimien said.

Akhimien’s app “myPaddi” anonymously connects young people with doctors who advise them on sex and contraception. Akhimien’s compatriot Morenike Fajemisin has the same determination to combat the paucity of sex education in Nigeria and to help women claim control over their own bodies. She said a cousin she grew up with would likely not have got pregnant in high school if she had had Whispa.
