AVAILABLE HEALTH SYSTEMS OF VILLAGE TARAYYIA AND ADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH NEEDS: A CASE STUDY OF RURAL VILLAGE IN PAKISTAN
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The norms and values shape the overall behavior of the members of a society. Puberty and discussion on it is a taboo in many societies and traditional cultures around the world. In case of Pakistan the acceptance of the growing needs of adolescents and youth has been recognized but finding ways to cope with the emerging need is another issue in its self based on the fact that great sensitivity is attached to it in terms of it being a norm and cultures are not allowing open discussions around it. A review of existing health systems in a remote village Tarriya has been addressed and it is seen that despite national and international commitments little ground work has been done.
