Unmarried youths need better services for sexual and reproductive health

Sex education and related services need to be available to all Chinese youths, even those who are not married, say experts in the field of reproductive health.

Though they may be sexually active, single Chinese youths can find themselves cut off from the free consultations and assistance offered to their young but married counterparts.

"There is definitely a great need for that among China's more than 200 million young people aged 10 to 24, married and single alike," said Tang Kun, chairman of the China Youth Committee of the 5th Asian and Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights.
