"fashion magazine" Hnyo - banned as too racy by Burmese censors -

http://blogs.wsj.com/searealtime/2013/01/10/too-racy-for-myanmar-censors/ Sex and gender education should be in schools -/ Hnyo - the name itself means "seduction."/ Probably a "near-pronographic" magazine is not the right place for proper sex education./ The lack of education of individuals in all fields, even those who have lived outside for so long, is phenomenal./ In my years at Penn, I met several people who worked in anti-AIDS education and outreach - and also in Thailand, I know for a fact that CDCE arranged for visiting non-profit workers and groups of social worker monks to receive AIDS-related information from expert Dr. Laurie Maund./ Of course those inside Burma are not well served - the whole culture needs to change./ A medical student told me that even medical texts had the reproductive system blacked out!!/ kmk
