Population Education (POP-ED) Graphic Narrative Series

Published by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Kenya, this nine-part Graphic Narrative Series on Population and Education is designed to encourage awareness and dialogue about matters affecting reproductive health in general, particularly as the issue relates to women, men, and youth. According to the publishers, the stories told in comic illustration format are designed to inspire families, parents, young people, and authorities to look more critically at love, education, rights, and other issues.

The Population Education (POP-ED) Series consists of the following editions:

• Book 1: presents selected issues on the obstacles that females and males face in assisting women to participate equally and fairly in the development process of their families, communities, and country.
• Book 2: examines both positive and negative aspects of gender struggles in more detail. It is UNFPA's hope that this edition will inspire families, parents, young people, and authorities to address the issue more critically.
• Book 3: is designed for youth and focuses on the issue of HIV/AIDS.
• Book 4: this edition seeks to remind men where they are, who they are, and their relationship to women and young people.
• Book 5: this publication focuses on gender in governance and offers points to think about related to gender and leadership.
• Book 6: includes information on substance abuse, as UNFPA recognises that substance abuse impacts negatively on people’s life in many ways.
• Book 7: highlights communication within the family unit and suggests that through the power of dialogue, between adults, adults to children and vice versa, and between the youth, all positive goals in life can be achieved.
• Book 8: looks at wide range of reproductive health issues that affect people.
