The eighth season of the Banega Swasth India initiative stresses on the need to take care of, and consider everyone's health in India especially vulnerable communities
Education is empowering for young people particularly so for young women and girls. We know we have had so many studies especially in India, just how education is a game changer for young girls - it prevents early marriage and early pregnancy. It gives girls right to be free of sexual violence. But education is alone not enough. You need to have comprehensive sexuality education which is often opposed by conservative forces. You need to take out toxic masculinity out of school space. It's important to keep all girls and boys in the school upto the end of secondary school. By keeping girls in school, they are less to suffer violence, she is able to control her fertility, she can earn that keeps her and her family safe and healthy. Complete education for girls has many outcomes for girls and her family.
