| Abstract | Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights have been a stinging issue worldwide. Within the circumstance of Vietnam, adolescence has not been recognized traditionally as a sensitive development phase and their voice, especially the young adolescents' one, has been rarely heard. In this qualitative study, young people's context and their emergent issues regarding SRH matters and gender equality were deeply explored. It pointed out that under conformity pressure, study strain and gender imposition, not only students' concerns and needs have been ignored, but students also have had many difficulties in struggling their life constructed from existing holes in SRH education and their troublesome entertaining environment. Keeping SRH queries, gender confusion and emotional feeling at puberty age in mind, young people still maneuvered through all of these constraints with their own coping strategies. Besides, because of my commitment on improving educational methods that would empower adolescents, an experimental class for 20 boy and girl students in Nguyen Du Secondary School, Hanoi was done beyond the purpose of exploration as well as understanding the transformative techniques of this research. The experimental class's implementation was completed in the hopes of proposing an effective model for Adolescent SRH educational programs that foster self-esteem, mutual respect and gender equality in fields of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. |
