habari za kitaifa 8:45 PM
They have gone to school. They have high profile jobs and are probably driving the latest cars. But behind the shiny curtains, educated women engage in cheating more than their less educated or uneducated counterparts, according to the newly-released results of the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS).
The survey, conducted by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) with the support of various development agencies.
Whereas 1.1% of uneducated women reported to have had sexual intercourse with two or more partners, the figure was 1.7% for women with primary education and 2% for those with secondary education and above.
Out of over 8,000 women interviewed, 182 women indicated that they had had more than one sexual partner during the previous months, with the highest number being in central region and east central (Busoga).
However, less than one third of them used a condom with the additional sexual partner. On average, most women interviewed had had two to three sexual partners in their lifetime.
Contrary to the situation among women, educated men had fewer partners than their uneducated colleagues. However, men remained more promiscuous than women. The proportion of men with multiple sexual partners varied from 18% among men with secondary education or higher, 19% among those with primary education and 36% among the uneducated.
The bureau obtained the data by confidentially interviewing a sample of 8,674 women aged 15 - 49 countrywide, from June to December 2011. The respondents were carefully sampled to represent the situation in Uganda. They were asked various questions including their backgrounds and various health topics such as family planning, sexual behaviour, knowledge about HIV/AIDS, parenting matters and knowledge about tuberculosis.
