To ensure active women participation in the governance process and advance citizen engagement, the youth development programme compels each district to include at least two female members in the decision making committee of seven people. To promote healthy reproductive practice JAAGO ensures access to healthy menstrual hygiene practice for its female students and youth leaders.
