Story

A biased behaviour of the patriarchal society about adolescent girls manifested in key aspects of their lives – gender-based discrimination, early and forced marriage and pregnancy, lack of education and a dearth of formal employment opportunities. Adolescent girls face challenges such as violence, poor nutrition, early childbearing and are constantly denied opportunities to reach their full potential. When poverty is combined with discrimination, outcomes can be harsh on the lives of adolescent girls. Children not enrolled in school increases with age from 5% (upto age 14) to 40% (age 18). 42% children (14-18) become part of workforce. 25% children do not gain adequate foundation skills (ASER 2017). NAS (2017) shows a declining trend in students’ learning outcomes (grades 3 to 8). NFHS-4 (2015-16) and U-DISE (2016-17) mentions issues: Very low Female literacy and completion of schooling level; Very high Early and Forced Child marriage & anaemic women, children; Worse Nutritional status of under-five children; Very low girls’ enrolment ratio in aged 14-15 and 16-17 years; Higher Gender disparity due to discrimination; High prevalence of child labour and migration; Poor laws & policy compliance & community ownership in school; Lack contextualized teaching learning material.
