Awareness on teenage sexual health is necessary in Palamu, demand for sensitive dialogue in schools

In a big district like Palamu, there is a great need to disseminate information related to adolescent health to every village. Misinformation on sexual and reproductive health can lead teens to fear, shame, and risky behavior.

Health experts say that there should be age-sensitive communication in schools and health centers. This may include topics such as hygiene, menstruation, body changes, consent and safe behaviour.

The purpose of such awareness is not to promote obscenity, but to make children and youth safe, healthy and responsible. Families should also cooperate in giving correct information.
