There are 6 stakeholder groups: state, family, education, private sector, media, health sector and too little is being done by all!

Mayada Wahsh, program officer for UNICEF, Osama Al Othman, In-Motion, Alison Fawcett, Nurse at Greenfield Community School, and David Jenns of Libra all joined me to work through this issue.
