What do you think is the significance of reproductive health in a society?

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

Reproductive health is the total well-being in all aspects of reproduction. It includes physical, emotional, behavioural, and social well-being. Sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, gonorrhoea, etc. are transferred from one individual to another through sexual contact. It can also lead to unwanted pregnancies. Hence, it is necessary to create awareness among people, especially the youth, regarding various reproduction-related aspects, as young individuals are the future of the country, and they are most susceptible to acquiring sexually transmitted diseases. Creating awareness about the available birth control methods, sexually transmitted diseases and their preventive measures, and gender equality will help in bringing up a socially conscious healthy family. Spreading awareness regarding uncontrolled population growth and social evils among young individuals will help in building up a reproductively healthy society.
