Empowering Adolescent Girls through Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and Menstrual Hygiene Management in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh during the COVID-19 Pandemic S. Naznin, F. J. Deepa (2022)
Considering the urgent needs of adolescent girls in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), a pilot intervention on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and menstrual hygiene management (MHM) was carried out through the joint collaboration of the Child Protection and WASH sections at the UNICEF Chattogram Field Office in Bangladesh. Partnering with the Sustainable Social Services in Chittagong Hill Tracts (SSSCHT) project, approximately 2,500 adolescent girls from 150 adolescent clubs received support. Moreover, 150 staff and 4,000 adolescents club members participated in capacity development initiatives on SRHR issues. Finally, selected participants received training on producing low-cost, reusable sanitary napkins for MHM as well as equipment and microgrants to support the startup of their business.
