CAPTION: ARSH Counselor Sarita Kumari Panna explains the use of iron and folic acid tablets to Atosi Shit. Most of the adolescent girls (perhaps 80-90%) in villages like this are anemic. There is large-scale absence of awareness of how to ensure their diets contain iron and folic acid, especially with the rising popularity of fast food while young people are away at school or college. Girls are especially unaware, after their menstrual cycles start, about when they ought to have particular types of nutrition. This often results in menstrual problems and anemia. LOCATION: Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) clinic, Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: Sarita Kumari Panna (left) and Atosi Shit (right).
