and shaping the young is shaping our future. FPA India has been addressing
the concerns of young people in a holistic manner through its 36 sex
Education, Counselling, Research, Training / Therapy (SECRT) centers across
the country. |
|
Protecting the
Rights of the Girl Child
FPA India addresses the need of
adolescent girls because a large proportion of them, particularly in rural
areas get married before the legal age of 18 years and become mothers. FPA
India advocates that girls should complete their schooling and marry at 18
or later when they are physically and mentally mature. The incidence of
teenage pregnancy too is greater among the poor and underprivileged. FPA
India provides information, advice and health care services to adolescent
girls. |
|
Face to face
with HIV/AIDS FPA India
considers HIV/AIDS a high priority area and is meeting the challenge with a
number of intervention projects. |
|
Empowering
Women Women are central to any change that FPA India aspires to bring about. Working with women and their problems for past 50 years has given FPA India the insight into their problems and it has developed effective ways of dealing with them. |
