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

उत्तर
Reproductive health is the total well-being of all aspects of reproduction. It includes physical, emotional, behavioural, and social well-being. Sexual contact transfers sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS and gonorrhoea from one individual to another. Sexual contact can also lead to unwanted pregnancies. Hence, it is necessary to raise 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. Raising 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.
