In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we talk about how the miserable and fearful behavior children faced at Juvenile Correction Homes affects the mental health of children and teenagers. After hearing Mukesh’s powerful story (in the 27th episode, Season 03) about his time in such a centre, we speak with Nawaraj Guragain, a psychology lecturer at St. Xavier’s College and former Youth Coordinator at FPAN Valley Branch. He helps us understand how these early experiences can impact young minds, the long-term effects of trauma, and why kind, supportive care is so important for healing and moving forward.

Understanding virginity, the hymen, and their connections to sexual health involves considering cultural, medical, and social factors. Virginity is often seen as never having had sex, but its meaning varies between cultures. The hymen is a thin membrane near the vaginal opening, but it's not a reliable sign of virginity as it can vary and be affected by activities unrelated to sex. Thinking that an intact hymen proves virginity can lead to harmful beliefs and practices. While the hymen might matter in medical exams, its presence doesn't guarantee sexual health. It's important to correct misunderstandings, share accurate information, and have open conversations about these topics to help people make informed choices about their bodies and sexuality.

In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we have discussed these topics with Dr. Prakriti Sitaula, Gynecologist and Obstetrician.
