The council highlighted three practical reasons women should be familiar with the device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Immediate safety check \u2013 a woman can inspect the condom for tears, expiry dates and proper positioning, catching problems a partner might miss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Empowerment \u2013 knowing the mechanics reduces reliance on a partner\u2019s skill and opens space for open dialogue about consent and protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shared responsibility \u2013 when a woman verifies the condom\u2019s integrity, the method\u2019s effectiveness rises, lowering the risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The SRC\u2019s message emphasizes that understanding how a male condom works is not about policing a partner but about safeguarding personal health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By equipping women with this knowledge, the council aims to strengthen individual agency and improve overall public\u2011health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us for more updates:<br>\u00b7X (Twitter): @ZimGbc<br>\u00b7Instagram: @ZimGBCNews<br>\u00b7TikTok: @ZimGBCNews_01<br>\u00b7Facebook: Zim GBC News<br>\u00b7YouTube: Zim GBC News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get real-time alerts on WhatsApp:<br>+263 773 820 323<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For in-depth coverage, visit our website: www.zimgbcnews.co.zw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News | Global News From An African Perspective\u00a92025<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Siziba Thandohealth reporterwww.zimgbcnews.co.za In a direct call for greater sexual\u2011health agency, the Sexual Rights Council (SRC) has urged women to learn how to correctly apply male condoms, stressing that personal&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment-and-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11241,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11239\/revisions\/11241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
