Introduction
Mongolia, located between China and Russia, is a country with a unique history and rich culture. As you can see from the map, our land territory is large, but the total population is only 2.4 million. Twenty-five percent are adolescents aged 10-19. Because our country was once part of the socialist system, we have a centralized public education system. Consequently, school enrollment is high, and the population is highly literate. But, as in many cultures, discussion of sexuality was taboo in Mongolia for centuries. With the collapse of the socialist system, Mongolia has been experiencing changes in its political, economic, social, and cultural structures.

Introduction
For Nigeria's over 24 million adolescents aged 10-19, there are several challenges that come with surviving in today's fast-changing world. The traditional norms and behavioral controls that once guided adolescence are breaking down due to several factors that include increasing poverty, rural-urban migration, and the influence of the world media. With the increasing opportunity to acquire formal education, many more young people are spending more years in school and consequently, they are getting married later, especially in the urban areas of Nigeria.
