  • CAPTION: The final group is listing out the various mental and social changes experienced by adolescents. One of these is the development of attraction to the opposite sex. It is impressed upon participants that this is something natural that happens to everyone, and that it should not be condemned as something 'bad'. Another is that girls start wanting to make themselves appear as beautiful as possible to others. Boys, meanwhile, might like to drive very fast in front of others, or smoke and take drugs. The group is considering the consequences of these things and how they may be addressed. After discussing these things, the groups join together and discuss what they have each found. This then leads to the enactment of role-plays. LOCATION: Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Kalpana Mahato, Savita Horo, Dr Jagannath Hembrom, Krishna Chakrabarty and Shobha Kumari Nirali.

  • CAPTION: This group is considering sexual changes, such as the start of the menstrual cycle. Girls tend not to be aware that this is coming up, as parents and even the health system tend not to orient them on it. Then, when bleeding happens for the first time and it shows through a girl’s clothes, she may feel very embarrassed. So adolescents, schools, parents, and other family members all need to be sensitized. A similar example in the case of boys is night emissions after 'wet dreams'. The first time this happens, the boy may be very startled. In the rural Indian cultural context, boys are unlikely to want to talk about it with parents or healthcare professionals, nor are these people likely to want to talk about what's happening for them. Often, boys will consult 'quacks' or low-cost books available in local markets, and may get information that's far from the truth. Again, ways to tackle this must be considered.

  • CAPTION: This group is considering sexual changes that adolescents go through. The idea that these things should even be discussed is often resisted by the trainees, and this often comes up in a big way during the first day of training. However, as the days unfold, they are encouraged to open up and relax, and generally a much more positive attitude to such discussion evolves by the end of the program.

  • CAPTION: The training of frontline workers (FLWs) is very participatory, and it is not held exclusively in classrooms. There is a lot of group work, which the master trainer facilitates, as well as role-plays wherein case studies are acted out. Service providers are taught not only on how to counsel children, but also their parents. EngenderHealth is measuring the effectiveness of what it’s doing in different ways. One involves looking at how those they train perform using a performance to standard tool. Knowledge is tested, counseling is observed, and a check on what services are being given is carried out. If there are gaps, an effort is made to consider how these might be addressed. Another considers how many adolescents (male and female, across different ages) are accessing these services, and which services specifically. So far, it has been noted that male take-up has been slightly lower than female. LOCATION: Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India.

  • CAPTION: A trained ANM visits Bethany Convent School in Ratu, Ranchi, and teaches them on sexual and reproductive health through a game. The cards state the physical changes that occur for both boys and girls, and the boys are asked to segregate them by gender and put them in order. This is followed by a discussion. These sessions happen at the school biannually when the school health team visits. A lot more of this work is being done with girls as compared with boys. The reason is that for boys, suitable forums are not so readily accessible. For girls, there are the Mahila Samakhya schools and anganwadi centers. The latter come under the Government’s Ministry of Women and Child Development. The School Health Program, however, is a component of the Adolescent Health Program, which gives importance to both boys and girls.
