The Adolescent Reproductive
Health Education Camps
|
|
|
|
|
Considering the almost total lack of information
and knowledge regarding reproductive health amongst unmarried youth,
the target group for this activity is not bound by strict upper
age limit and all young, unmarried boys and girls above the age
of 14 years are welcome to participate. These camps include those
organized at Shodhgram by SEARCH, the ones conducted in schools
and colleges as well as those which are hosted by other social service
organisations.

The proceedings of the camps are a combination
of informal and formal sessions including group discussions, interactive
question-answer sessions, group games and talks on specific topics.
Scientific information is provided through slide shows and posters.
Each camp is characterized by "before after study" of
information and knowledge of the participants. The major topics
covered during a typical three day camp are :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anatomy of reproductive organs
|
|
Menstruation: Precautions and cleanliness
|

The mechanism and process of conceiving
and sex determination
|
|
Pregnancy: Care and risk factors, delivery
and diet
|
|

|
Irresponsible sexual behaviour
|
|
Abortion and medical termination of pregnancy
|
|

Though initially the camps were held only in
Gadchiroli district and nearby districts of Chandrapur and Nagpur,
the demand from all over Maharashtra has resulted in camps being
held in distant places like Pune, Miraj, Kolhapur etc.
