  "account": "Ghanaian online journalist and humanitarian Kobby Kyei, the founder of BoysLivesMatter Foundation, has emphasized the importance of sex education for boys as part of their upbringing. During an appearance on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Kobby Kyei highlighted that the foundation of every child's upbringing is critical in shaping their future. He stated, \"The foundation of every upbringing is important. How a boy is raised determines the kind of man he becomes, so parents must be intentional about what they teach them from the beginning.\"\n\nKobby Kyei observed that society has given more attention to educating girls about sex and reproductive health, while boys have been left behind. This imbalance has resulted in a gap in responsible behavior among young men. He argued that boys also need proper sex education to comprehend concepts like consent, responsibility, and the repercussions of their actions. Kobby Kyei noted, \"I believe that we need to orient the boys to know that when we are teaching about menstrual hygiene, we must also teach boys.\"\n\nThe BoysLivesMatter Foundation, established by Kobby Kyei, aims to champion the welfare and proper upbringing of boys, an area he believes has been neglected for far too long. He urged parents, schools, and society to give equal attention to boys as they do to girls in terms of moral and sexual education.",
