Cover picture for 'PAnKH - Promoting Adolescents’ Engagement, Knowledge and Health: Brief'

This brief provides an overview of ICRW’s PAnKH program. The aim of the PAnKH program is to delay age at marriage, increase school retention and improve sexual reproductive health (SRH) of adolescent girls in India through providing the girls with the skills and information they lack as well as create a safe enabling environment in which they can thrive and make the best choices for their future. PAnKH involves teaching girls’ life skills, engaging them in collective critical self-reflection and agency-building activities that enable them to recognize and challenge inequitable gender norms, reject all forms of violence and make responsible choices and decisions about their age of marriage and related SRH needs. The target population includes unmarried and married adolescent girls aged 12-19 years, their parents and in-laws, other community members, including men and boys, and key stakeholders within the health system.
