Enhancing Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health, Agency, Consent, and Rights through Life Skills-based Learning in Odisha

Author(s) Ms. Raimat Hansda, Dr. Sujata Acharya
Country India
Abstract Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage characterized by social, psychological, and physical changes. Adolescents from tribal and rural communities in Odisha face specific challenges related to sexual and reproductive health, such as low awareness, socio-cultural ties, early marriage practices, and poor decision-making. These barriers often hinder adolescents' ability to exercise autonomy, understand their rights, and make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Life skills-based education provides a structured way to equip adolescents with important skills such as critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-awareness. Integrating life skills education into schools and community programs in Odisha can enhance adolescents' knowledge of reproduction and sexual health, strengthen their sense of autonomy, and increase awareness of consent and individual rights. Studies have shown that adolescents who participate in life skills programs exhibit increased self-confidence, better health habits, and a greater ability to cope with social pressures. Furthermore, involving teachers, parents, and community members creates a supportive environment that promotes positive behaviors and challenges harmful cultural norms.
