At a Friday press conference organized by the <A target="_new" href="http://www.nja.org.np/nepal.htm">Health Journalists' Association of Nepal</A>, NRCS Executive Director Umesh Prasad Dhakal said, "The day is a special event designed to reach young people, migrants and other vulnerable groups about the benefits of condom[s]." NRCS has distributed 10.34 million condoms at subsidized prices through 1,700 outlets, according to Dhakal. The group is meeting about 35% of the demand for condoms in the country, the <CITE>Post</CITE> reports.  In addition, a report from NCASC found that condom use among female commercial sex workers in Nepal has increased from 74% in 2004 to 77.2% in 2006.  </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/15404240-9618-4794-8F71-31DA119CA897/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
