One in 10 of those who became infected in 1998 was a child under the age of 15 years. IPPF has focused on meeting this overwhelming need for education and services. The focus has not just been on numbers, however, but also on customising education and counselling for special focus groups. Outreach has diversified. Similarly, in India, in addition to general awareness campaigns, the FPA also targets newly-weds, textile workers, truck drivers, rag pickers, sex workers, medical personnel, soldiers and their wives, and police officers.
Young adults are perhaps the largest special interest group, and a special focus in several regions.
Similarly, the Lebanon FPA has been successful in getting crucial reproductive health education into the national secondary school curriculum. Special Focus on Migrants and Nomadic Groups Migrant groups have also received specific attention in several regions. More than 225,000 young Australians travel overseas annually. In each of the country's six terminals, a motivation centre is maintained by FPAB where films are shown and information is given, followed by group discussions with drivers.
