Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Nutritional Wellbeing at Schools in Navanthurai

Students selected five schools in the Navanthurai area for their activity. They divided themselves into two groups. One group conducted their activity in two secondary schools, while the second group did theirs in three preschools. At the secondary schools, presentations were made about menstrual health, hygiene and management. Students held interactive sessions with students to discuss and respond to their questions. At preschools, the students raised awareness about ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ and nutritional wellbeing through videos and presentations. Group members distributed leaflets on menstrual hygiene and good & bad touch during the sessions.
