CAMP with the technical support of UNFPA, BGMS and Department of H & FW implemented “Life Skill Education Programme at JAWA block of Rewa District, M.P, contained a comprehensive life skill-based package, initially, focused on raising the self- esteem of mainly the adolescent girls and young women. The package includes gender equity, child rights, reproductive health and sex education, HIV AIDs, early marriage and early pregnancy and personality development, non-formal education, peace education and vocational training.

Strategically, in the implementation of the programme, girls, boys, parents, community members and leaders are challenged to address gender inequality and inequity. However, the adolescents represent the underutilized resource of the society. So, working with adolescents provided us a unique opportunity to break a number of vicious and intergenerational cycles of gender discrimination, violence, human trafficking, and poverty, unsafe and unwanted sex. Therefore, providing adolescents with skills, information, support and services increases their capabilities to avoid or overcome many of the physical and social problems they are likely to encounter in their own life, in the family, communitsociety and the nation as they grow.
