Training Manual for facilitators on Sexuality and Gender & Young
People |
|
|
This manual is the
first in the series on YRSHR – related issues. The aim of this
manual is to help strengthen the implementation of programs with
young people in sexual and reproductive health within the
framework of gender and rights. It has been designed to guide the
facilitator in imparting appropriate knowledge that will help
develop positive attitudes among adolescents about sexuality and
gender issues. Also, this brings into focus the need for clearing
the cobwebs of misinformation, myths and confusions about
sexuality and gender. This training manual provides step-by-step
approaches that can be adopted for transmitting knowledge and
inculcating a positive attitude about sexuality and gender among
the youth. Through this manual it has been tried to encompass a
wide range of issues related to sex and sexuality. Each unit of
the manual has supplementary reading material for the facilitator,
which serves as ready reference for them on which they can work

Understanding and Practice of Peer Education:
Handbook |
|
|
Peer Education seeks to utilize the positive aspects of young
people's peer groups by enabling them to learn from one another-
something they do naturally anyway. Increasingly the Peer
Education approach is being used to facilitate delivery of
messages and acceptance in adolescent programmes and activities.
This handbook, which is third in the series of YRSHR-related
issues focuses primarily on the genesis and synthesis of Peer
Education. The aim is to give users access to wealth of experience
and resource that exist in the field. This document attempts to
synthesize various experiences (including our own) and offer
guidelines to programme designers and implementers to learn and
possibly to adopt/ adapt those strategies that exhibit the
potential to succeed in their settings. |

Adolescent growth & development |
|
|
This paper is first in
the series of working papers being developed under the information
centre on young people's issues. Adolescence is a time of many
transitions both for teens and their families. To ensure that
teens and adults navigate these transitions successfully, it is
important for both to understand what is happening to the
adolescent physically, cognitively, emotionally and socially and
how these transitions affect them, what adults can do to support
them, and what resources are available. This paper addresses some
of these issues and highlights the major landmarks of adolescent
growth and development both physical as well as psychosocial from
an Indian perspective. This paper would serve the purpose of
understanding adolescent issues for the adolescent themselves,
their parents and families, health care professionals as well as
programme planners and policy makers. |

Reproductive Tract Infections & Sexually
Transmitted Infections |
|
Working
Paper–II
Research based
|
The
adolescent population in India is about one-fifth of the country’s
total population. There are varied concerns that relate to
adolescents that impact on their health and development.
Reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections
are one such area. The figures of young people affected by RTI/STI
draws our attention to a compelling need for addressing this
issue. This paper seeks to throw light on the specificities of
the problem particularly in the Indian context and the
policy/programme response to it. The focus of this paper is to
examine prevalence and vulnerability of young people with respect
to RTIs/STIs from other data sources. It is second in the series
of working papers being developed under the information centre on
young people's issues. |

Media and Young People |
|
Working
Paper–IV
Research based
|
In
India, young people constitute about one-third of the total
population. Their reproductive and sexual health concerns have
largely remained unattended in most developing countries. It is
being realised that mass media has the potential to influence and
even change their mindsets on these issues. The scope of
discussion on media is so vast that synchronising it to a level of
young people becomes a no easy task. This working paper, largely
based on review of secondary literature, supplemented by MAMTA’s
experiences in the fields, and content analysis of the print and
the electronic media, is an attempt to review the role and scope
of media in addressing the issues of the young people in the
country. The underlying focus is to highlight sexual and
reproductive health, an issue apparently perceived to be still not
in the agenda of the mainstream media. The main objectives of the
paper are, to access the relevance of media in the life of the
young people; to estimate the current trends in the media with
reference to sexuality and young people; to determine the media
reach, access and habit of the young people and to discuss the
risks and explore the potential of the mass media to reach out to
the young people with information on sexual and reproductive
health. This paper is in continuation of the series of working
papers being developed by the information centre on young people’s
issues. |

their reproductive and sexual health and rights. The focus is on
the issue of violence, specifically sexual violence. The paper
looks at concepts and evidence of violence for women in general.
With the focus being reproductive and sexual health, the main

Adolescent Health
and Development in India: An Action Approach |
|
|
This report is
based on the study project on the status of adolescents in India.
The study has been undertaken with the objective of initiating
advocacy for the policies and programmes addressing adolescent
health and development related issues. The
adolescent’s issues basically relate to risks and opportunities,
which affect their health and development. A major advocacy drive
would be required to foster the necessary policy amendments to
create an enabling environment for the development of services
provided to adolescents. Thus the attempt is made primarily to
review relevant Central and States’ Government policies with
respect to the way they address health and development issues of
adolescent groups. In particular, policies of the Ministries of
Health and Family Welfare; Ministry of Human Resource Development;
Ministry of Culture, Youth Affairs and Sports, and Ministry of
Rural Development and their relevant departments have been
reviewed. Efforts has also been made to review the programme
components of academic institutions both medical and non-medical
in terms of research, teaching, training, service and
communication. |

Young People’s Reproductive and Sexual Health and
Rights: An Analysis of Urban and Rural Setting
|
|
|
Any understanding of
reproductive and sexual rights can be acquired better in the
context of Human Rights in general. The perspective of rights
presents a development over thinking of access to different
resources as mere privileges or as largesse. A resource in this
context does not refer only to material or tangible goods but also
information, communication and negotiation skills that enable in
the well being of the person. The perspective draws attention to
the fundamental nature of such access to individuals’ well being
which also has a legal basis. To ensure these rights,
governments, NGOs, parents and other stakeholders of the community
play a very important role. The major objective of this document
is to identify the needs of young people and also to acquire
secondary data for focusing intervention strategies, which would
serve as baseline to evaluate the impact of intervention in the
future. The reports deals with findings from needs assessment
carried out in the areas of Bangalore, Karnataka, Bawal and
Haryana. This study was also to provide an opportunity to build
rapport with the community in general and youth in particular. |
