Reproductive Health
Your school has been selected by the Department of Education to organize and host an interschool seminar on 'Reproductive Health – Problems and Practices'. However, many parents are reluctant to permit their wards to attend it. Their argument is that the topic is 'too embarrassing.'
Put forth four arguments with appropriate reasons and explanation to justify the topic to be essential and timely.
Reproductive health is the total well-being in all aspects which includes the physical, emotional, behavioural and social well-being of an individual. Therefore, there is an urgent need to educate and discuss topics related to the reproductive health.
Following are the topics about reproductive health that should be discussed with the students:
i. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as AIDS and Gonorrhoea, are transferred from one individual to another through sexual contact. Therefore, making the students aware about these diseases will help to prevent their spread.
ii. Lack of knowledge about the reproductive status may lead to unwanted pregnancies. Hence, it is necessary to create awareness among people, especially the youth.
iii. Learning about one's sexuality at a proper age may help the students to know about the different changes happening in their body; thereby, leading to a better mental and physical state of health.
iv. Counselling and creating awareness about reproductive health also help to curb the problems of infertility, birth control, mortality, etc.
