- What is your idea?
Adolescent Girls in Nepal have been abandoned from getting access to reproductive health related services and awareness due to the traditional thoughts and beliefs. It is considered as taboo to talk about the sex related topic in the communities as a result the youths never try to understand about the sex education. One of the most serious matter to be discussed is the mensural hygiene that causes the different reflective results in girl's health. The hygienic behaviors are not taken as the serious matters by the guardians by which the girls do not know in their first mensuration. Similarly, girls do not get hygienic sanitary pads in their needs. The current ready-made pads that are available in cheaper prices are used by the girls and they bring the different side effects in their health. The pads changing duration also is the matter of discussion with the adolescent girls. On the other hand, the teen-aged girls practice unsafe sex with their male partner and it causes the pregnancy before marriage. It results another serious problem as a result they are compelled to adopt the unsafe abortion practices and ruin their womb in very early age. In these above mentioned circumstances, the adolescent girls need to get proper access to reproductive health which will ultimately guide them in proper care of their health and adopt the safe and hygienic behaviors and they are able to protect their reproductive health.
- Why is it important?
A girl is the mother of tomorrow. The whole life depends on the healthy betterment and fit to be a healthy and prosperous citizen who ultimately contribute in the national development along with their personal health. If a member of the family is sick, not only s/he gets trouble, but also the whole family gets disturbed and the financial loss increases by which the rate of poverty increases gradually. The sick person cannot get proper education and learning in his/her life. So, it is important to educate the person from the very beginning.
