In Australia, as many as 4000 international students have abortions each year, according to SBS.
In the interview, Miss Li, a post-90s Chinese student from Mexico University, shared her abortion experience with reporters: shortly after she arrived in Melbourne, she found herself pregnant. "I`m scared, and I don`t know what to do," she said.
Ms. Li said she had little sex education in China and that the procedure was done only through online searches for information.
"only in the textbook contact with relevant knowledge, the teacher is also a brief introduction to the lecture, has not talked about a lot of details."
Later, she decided to post her story on Weibo, "I hope to help people who have similar experiences with me." Said Miss Li.
Several girls find Miss Li and consult the hospital about how to make an appointment for the operation.
Phillip Stone, head of Australia`s reproductive health agency, said the number of abortions among international students across Australia was as high as 4000, while international students accounted for 5 percent of all aborted patients at the clinic. Moreover, international medical insurance OSHC does not reimburse the cost of abortion, about A $1000 or so is a large cost.
The Alison Coelho, from the Center for Culture, ethnic minorities and Health, suggests that universities should popularize sex education, such as contraception and access to health care, within 12 months of their arrival in Australia.
But Belinda Robinson, head of alliance at the University of Australia, said the community and campus groups of international students should also take the responsibility.
The lack of sex education in China is a long-debated issue.
Parents and schools "talk about sex change", taboo, and even think that children will naturally understand this knowledge as adults.
In 2017, the publication of treasured Life-sexual Health Education for Primary School revealed that the Bureau of Education tried to take the first step in sex education, but was forced to stop because parents were strongly opposed to "too big a scale."
But in the face of frequent sexual assaults and the alarming number of abortions, we can`t just try to figure out the sex itself from TV commercials, or from certain websites that try to understand the sex itself.
But should establish the correct understanding of sex, always be vigilant to protect oneself, encounter sexual assault, sexual harassment bravely ask for help, also do not harm others.
Far away in a foreign country, we enjoy freedom, cats and friends to cherish their own, and pay attention to personal safety oh!
