"The focus on reproductive health is an important global recognition as the reproductive health needs have been largely neglected particularly for women.

This book provides most significant aspects of reproductive and sexual health in India in general and Manipur in particular. In this book an effort is made to present the various dimensions of socio-economic and cultural factors that play an important role in empowering the adolescent girls. This book will serve the purpose of all those for whom it is meant." (jacket)
