II. Session Outline

Session Title:

Session Objectives: At the end of the session, learners will be able to:

● Analyze the factors contributing to early pregnancy.

● Develop a sense of personal responsibility and commitment

towards preventing early pregnancies.
● Make a reflection journal on how teenage pregnancies can
be prevented.

Key Concepts:
● Comprehensive sexuality education involves providing
age-appropriate, evidence-based information about human
sexuality, relationships, and reproductive health. It goes
beyond basic anatomy and covers topics such as
communication skills, consent, contraception, and decision-
making.
● Access to reproductive healthcare services includes the
availability and affordability of services related to family
planning, contraception, prenatal care, and sexual health.
This encompasses both clinical services and community-
based initiatives.
● Empowerment involves providing individuals, especially
women and marginalized groups, with the resources,
information, and autonomy to make decisions about their
own lives. Gender equality aims to ensure that individuals
of all genders have equal rights, opportunities, and access
to resources.
