Consent and boundaries are fundamental to the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of children and adolescents. It is essential to ensure they understand their right to bodily autonomy, the ability to make informed decisions, and the importance of respecting their own and others' boundaries. Comprehensive sexuality education tailored to their age helps them navigate relationships, recognize inappropriate behavior, and understand that consent must always be freely given, mutual, and reversible. Protecting their SRHR involves creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where they can ask questions, express concerns, and access services without fear or coercion.

In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we sit down with Prakash Lamichhane, a media professional with over two decades of experience and a parent of two. Lamichhane shares his insights on teaching his children about consent and boundaries, reflecting on both the challenges and the positive outcomes he encountered along the way. He also emphasizes the importance of discussing consent and boundaries in the context of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for children and adolescents, highlighting why these conversations are crucial for their development.
