Description

While we are busy teaching our daughters how to reach the peak of the mountain, we often forget to teach them the very basic biological process of growing up. At the age of 9 or 10, when girls’ bodies start to respond to pubertal changes, our families and schools hardly address and guide them actively how to deal with puberty. And when they see the first drop of menstrual blood on bed or dress, they cry out of fear!

Even if menstruation is a very normal part of a girls life, lack of information about what is normal during puberty in terms of physical changes and psychological changes, why these changes happen, their significance, not knowing who to ask for the right information and getting reprimanded from other female members from the family or communities to hide this event from others creates a confusion in the minds these young girls. Some develop shyness, fear, lack of confidence, inferiority complex etc.

On the other hand, thousands of adolescent girls are at health risk for not knowing the hygienic ways to manage their periods. This is very alarming and has long-lasting effects on their health.

This course will minimize these knowledge gaps so that they can make informed decisions about their health before, during and after period and help them enjoy their teen years of life and menstruate every girl to enjoy puberty and menstruation.
