HUONG has had two abortions in two years. No one had ever talked to her about sex: not her parents, not her teachers - and her friends knew as little as she did.

She is not alone. A lack of sex education at home or in school in Vietnam, has resulted in some relying on abortion as a form of birth control, experts say.
