Rosianne Cutajar Calls for Free Contraceptives in Schools & Updated Sexual Health Policy

Rosianne Cutajar Calls for Free Contraceptives in Schools & Updated Sexual Health Policy
Sep 19 2024 Share

Labour Party MP Rosianne Cutajar took to social media to emphasise the importance of educating young people about sexual health.

In her post, Cutajar stressed that educational campaigns in schools should include the distribution of free contraceptives to help prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which have seen a steady increase in Malta. She also highlighted the need to update the country’s sexual health policy, which has remained unchanged since 2011, pointing out that she has been raising this issue for years.

Cutajar referenced a MaltaToday article titled ‘Half of sexually active girls having unprotected sex – Health Behaviour Study’, which revealed that 53% of sexually active 15-year-old Maltese girls and 28% of boys do not use condoms during intercourse.

In her post, she reiterated: “Educational campaigns in our schools must also include the distribution of free contraceptives to help prevent, among other things, the rise in sexually transmitted diseases.” Cutajar’s call for action aims to better equip youth with the knowledge and resources needed to promote safe sexual practices.

Sep 18 2024 Share

Ed Sheeran has melted hearts with a viral video that’s been called “the best on the internet.” The clip, which has racked up 854,000 likes and nearly 5,000 comments, shows the 33-year-old singer floating down a London canal on a boat when he spots a runner passing by.

“Hi!” Sheeran shouts, before asking, “Any requests?” The surprised runner slows down, asking for “Tenerife Sea.” Without missing a beat, Sheeran starts strumming and singing the song. The runner quickly pulls out her phone to capture the surreal moment.

After finishing, he waves and says, “Have a good rest of your run!” The brief encounter has since blown up online, with fans calling it “the best video on the internet today.” Some have even been inspired to start running, hoping for their own personal concert.

Sheeran posted the video on Instagram with the caption, “Was filming a video on the canal today, played a request. If anyone knows the runner, let me know so we can have their POV video for the lols.”
