Book Synopsis Migrant Adolescent Girls in Urban Slums India: Aspirations, Opportunities and Challenges by : Siddharth Agarwal

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Many adolescents grow-up with inadequate access to opportunities facing challenges and risks. This study focuses on recently migrant adolescent girls in India's fast growing urban slum population for whom multiple vulnerabilities intersect, including gender, poverty and migrant status. Objective and Methods: This qualitative study aims to better understand circumstances, opportunities and challenges faced by recent migrant slum-dwelling adolescent girls. The study was conducted in fast growing Indore (2 million population), Madhya Pradesh. Qualitative data collection methods were used to explore girls' experiences in-depth from their own perspectives. Individual interviews were conducted with adolescent girls aged 12-19 who migrated to slum within the past 2 years (n=18) and non-migrant adolescent girls for purposes of comparison (n=4). A group-interview with slum women's group members discussed challenges for migrants and ways in which these might be addressed. Data were analysed thematically. Findings: Recent migrant adolescent girls in these slum contexts were largely associational migrants, either accompanying their families or joining their husbands following marriage. Push and pull factors of differences in employment and educational opportunities between rural and urban areas motivated families of unmarried girls to migrate. They joined family connections in the city, which provided support to migrating families. Recently married girls either joined city-based marital family or accompanied their husbands who themselves were labour migrants in the city. Neither married nor unmarried girls played decision-making roles in their migration experience. Married migrant adolescent girls faced many challenges in accessing educational, employment, social opportunities and services in the city. Among them, restrictions on freedom of movement played a key role. Most girls came across having weak social networks in the neighbourhood and city. They also had low awareness of opportunities and services available. This generated particular risks for childbearing migrant girls. Contact with natal family being limited, the quality of relationships with the husband and marital family was crucial for married girls' well-being. Unmarried adolescent girls attending schools were positive about their migration experience. The city was perceived to offer greater educational opportunities than their village. Through attending school, they also accessed opportunities for building new relationships and social activities, which helped them overcome initial language and cultural barriers to integration. Nevertheless, not all unmarried adolescent girls were able to access these opportunities owing to restrictions by family members, economic circumstances, or factors related to their educational attainment before migration. These girls' worlds remained small despite moving to a large city. Discussion: Recent migrant adolescent girls living in low-income slum contexts in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were largely associational migrants, either accompanying their families or joining husbands following marriage. This study provides insight into the circumstances of these associational migrants, whose experiences are often missing in the literature, and the meaning they attached to their migration experience in relation to educational, employment and social opportunities and challenges. Moreover, home and the place of work are more separate in urban compared to rural areas, further restricting access to employment opportunities. There were exceptions-some recently married migrant girls did engage in education or employment-although social norms restricting these girls' access to social spaces led to situation where girls were enrolled at university, for example, but engaged only in “home study.” Migrant adolescent girls faced sub-optimal access to public health and nutrition care services owing to lack of information about services, poor outreach services from Primary Urban Health Centers, weak linkages between urban slum and informal settlement communities and public healthcare system. Lack of information about where nearest and needed government health facilities are located, limited social networks in the area to provide support and information also contribute to low access to the city's healthcare services, particularly pregnancy care of married recent migrant adolescent girls. Conclusion: In sum, experiences of migrant adolescent girls in urban slums were diverse. Where girls' economic and/or family and social circumstances allowed, migration entailed a positive change that enhanced their opportunities. Specific challenges of this population segment need focus in policies and programs, prioritizing three particularly vulnerable groups: girls who are neither in education nor employment, pregnant girls or new mothers, and those with difficult relationships in marital homes. Proactive outreach to raise awareness about opportunities and services and fostering social networks through frontline workers and slum-women's groups are recommended. Recommendations are made for addressing specific needs of this population in policies and programmes, prioritising three particularly vulnerable groups: girls who are neither in education nor employment, married girls who are pregnant or new mothers, and those with difficult relationships in their marital homes.

Proactive outreach to raise awareness about opportunities and services and fostering social networks through frontline workers and slum-women's groups are recommended. On the health access front, in India it is easier for women's groups to approach older, married migrant girls than the younger, unmarried migrants. For example, women's groups can lead a pregnant (married) adolescent migrant to the antenatal services available in the community about which she might not otherwise be aware. In the event of need, one of the trained, confident women of the group could accompany the pregnant girl to the hospital for delivery. The recently agreed United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outline specific focal areas for improving the status of vulnerable and impoverished populations pledging that “no one will be left behind”. This is reflected by the emphasis of many of the 17 SDG targets on achieving inclusive development, including target 11, which aims to “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. Ensuring that development is inclusive of urban migrants is essential not only for Target 11, but for the SDGs as a whole.

Book excerpt: Growing up and living in Kibera, Kenya, Abdul Kassim was well aware of the disproportionate number of challenges faced by women due to the extreme gender inequalities that persist in the slums. After being raised by his aunts, mother, and grandmother and having a daughter himself, he felt that he needed to make a difference. In 2002, Abdul started a soccer team for girls called Girls Soccer in Kibera (GSK), with the hope of fostering a supportive community and providing emotional and mental support for the young women in the town. The soccer program was a success, but the looming dangers of slum life persisted, and the young women continued to fall victim to the worst kinds of human atrocities. Indeed, it was the unyielding injustice of these conditions that led Abdul to the conclusion that soccer alone was not enough to create the necessary systemic change. In 2006, after much work, the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (KGSA) was established with their first class of 11 girls and 2 volunteer teachers. Today, KGSA is composed of 20 full-time staff, provides a host of artistic and athletic programs for more than 130 students annually, and continues to expand. By providing academics inside and outside of the classroom along with artistic and athletic opportunities, KGSA inspires the young women of Kibera to become advocates for change within their own communities and for Kenya as a whole. Play Like a Girl tells the KGSA story through Abdul’s voice and vision and the stories of key staff and students. It is written by Ellie Roscher who spent 2 summers doing research at KGSA and several years writing this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The young and adolescents are an epitome of change, hope and progress. The lives of adolescents are subject to global challenges faced by information and technological revolution, changing markets and globalization, and specific changes taking place in family dynamics, cultural traditions, religious beliefs and other socialization practices. This book on Adolescence Education assumes importance in view of the likely impact of acquired skills and behaviours during this period on an individual’s prospects in adulthood. This book is an attempt to understand the broader context in which adolescent lives are embedded. The theoretical perspective presents a multi-disciplinary view of adolescence that helps to understand the evolution of the concept of adolescence. Presenting an elaborate account of adolescence as experienced by young in India and highlighting the challenges that emerge as a result of dynamic changes in society, the attempt is made to identify the emerging issues and concerns that impact the lives of adolescents and provide a perspective to adolescence education. The historical account presented helps to build an understanding of the various socio-cultural forces that led to the emergence of the existing Adolescence Education Programme (AEP). The text presents the key features of the present AEP that are imperative for its successful implementation. The UN and civil society initiatives are mapped with a view to locate the characteristic features and thrust of various interventions. The text gives some gleaning insights from available evidences regarding execution of various existing adolescent programmes, and existential realities of adolescents’ lives. The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Education, Psychology and Sociology. Besides, the book is equally beneficial for the students opting for Psychology at their +2 level.

Book Synopsis Emerging Changes in Reproductive Behaviour Among Married Adolescent Girls in an Urban Slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh by : Sabina Faiz Rashid
Download or read book Emerging Changes in Reproductive Behaviour Among Married Adolescent Girls in an Urban Slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh written by Sabina Faiz Rashid and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural and social inequalities, a harsh political economy and neglect on the part of the state have made married adolescent girls an extremely vulnerable group in the urban slum environment in Bangladesh. The importance placed on newly married girls' fertility results in high fertility rates and low rates of contraceptive use. Ethnographic fieldwork among married adolescent girls, aged 15-19, was carried out in a Dhaka slum from December 2001 - January 2003, including 50 in-depth interviews and eight case studies from among 153 married adolescent girls, and observations and discussions with family and community members. Cultural and social expectations meant that 128 of the girls had borne children before they were emotionally or physically ready. Twenty-seven had terminated their pregnancies, of whom 11 reported they were forced to do so by family members. Poverty, economic conditions, marital insecurity, politics in the household, absence of dowry and rivalry among family, co-wives and in-laws made these young women acquiesce to decisions made by others in order to survive. Young married women's status is changing in urban slum conditions. When their economical productivity takes priority over their reproductive role, the effects on reproductive decision-making within families may be considerable. This paper highlights the vulnerability of young women as they pragmatically make choices within the social and structural constraints in their lives.
Book Synopsis Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South by : Katarzyna Grabska
Download or read book Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South written by Katarzyna Grabska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a nuanced, complex, comparative analysis of adolescent girls’ migration and mobility in the Global South. The stories and the narratives of migrant girls collected in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sudan guide the readers in drawing the contours of their lives on the move, a complex, fluid scenario of choices, constraints, setbacks, risks, aspirations and experiences in which internal or international migration plays a pivotal role. The main argument of the book is that migration of adolescent girls intersects with other important transitions in their lives, such as those related to education, work, marriage and childbearing, and that this affects their transition into adulthood in various ways. While migration is sometimes negative, it can also offer girls new and better opportunities with positive implications for their future lives. The book explores also how concepts of adolescence and adulthood for girls are being transformed in the context of migration.
