Peter Beron, a leader in the Union of Democratic Forces, known as the CDC in Bulgaria, has launched a sex education and family planning initiative for Gypsy communities.
The seminar informs Turkish and Roman children of diseases like AIDS using films and teacher lectures. The initiative was launched because most Gypsy children marry at 12 years of age. Recently an eight-year-old girl died after having sex with her 30-year-old husband. The parents arranged the marriage because he was a wealthy man.
