My contention on exclusive breastfeeding is not in relation to India or South Asia. But yes, the experience you have brought about India (also true for most of South Asia) is fairly well documented.

I think that this debate is crucial in respect of countries where PCR is still a distant reality. I find that some recent publications on library also strongly endorse your point of view.]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:57:56 +0000 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=322#c-59 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=322#c-59 Pankaj Anand commented to One in ten children in juvenile facilities report sexual abuse by staff in the United States on 17 February 2010:

This report talks about sexual abuse faced by youth in US. There are studies and news reports that highlight that children are sexually abused in juvenile homes and other institutional settings in South Asia and other geographies as well.

All said, I entirely agree with your arguement that children are more vulnerable and therefore would require different approaches.]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:50:48 +0000 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=320#c-58 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=320#c-58 Amit Pandey commented to Younger teachers more open about HIV in South Africa on 16 February 2010:

It is a good piece of information. I also wish to see the full report.
It is corroborated fact that the young people are more open to talk about HIV and other sexual issues that the older people, therefore the older people needs to be sanitized enough about these issues. ]]> Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:24:22 +0000 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=320#c-57 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=320#c-57 Ankit Saxena commented to Younger teachers more open about HIV in South Africa on 16 February 2010:

I wish there were more details here. But providing a hyperlink is also not a bad idea.

As for the report, I think that it is wonderfully captures the main findings of the study. Is the entire report accessible? Is it on the library yet?]]> Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:58:12 +0000 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=313#c-54 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=313#c-54 Shamnu Rao commented to SUDAN: Vulnerable girls risk sexual exploitation on Juba's streets on 16 February 2010:

Is it youth or children facing sexual abuse in prisons? Both groups would require different approaches as children are more vulnerable.]]> Tue, 16 Feb 2010 09:56:20 +0000 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=323#c-51 http://www.ovcsupport.net/s/index.php?i=323#c-51 TCB India commented to Annual debate on the Rights of the Child by the Human Rights Council on 16 February 2010:
