Adolescent Girls Sensitisation in Government Schools

JCF exists to voice the opinion and concern of adolescent girls in the society. Through a comprehensive engagement strategy JCF has been conducting awareness programs on Gender Equality, Sexual Abuse, Academic Failure, Peer pressure, Health and Hygiene, Domestic violence, Drug Effects, Male dominance and Confidence development in Government schools of North West Delhi.

As per UNICEF statistics today, 1.2 billion adolescents stand at the crossroads between childhood and the adult world. Around 243 million of them live in India. In India adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 account for nearly one quarter of the total population and they face a difficult set of challenges, including an escalating number of humanitarian crisis and conflicts, climate change and environmental degradation and rapid urbanization. Therefore, the sensitization of youth is very crucial at this point of time.

This is achieved by conducting various sensitization campaigns, training centers, workshop, programs, seminars and counseling etc. in govt. schools of Nangloi, Bakkarwala, Mundka and other villages that fall under JCF’s radius of work.

JCF ensures meaningful participation of nearest stakeholders: parents, guardians, teachers, government agencies and students in these programs. An important mandate of the Women Empowerment is to sensitize and educate women about their well-being, about their safety and their rights. JCF takes into consideration all the necessary steps towards such projects.

This project is unique as it is managed by group of volunteers from various colleges and skill training centers. We motivate them to become a part of this initiative and provide them extensive training. Once the volunteers are trained enough then we allocate them a school to conduct sensitization sessions in Government School.
