Reproductive health refers to the physical, emotional, and social well-being related to the reproductive system. It includes the ability to have safe and healthy pregnancies, childbirth, and access to information on family planning and healthcare.

Puberty is the stage when a child's body begins to develop and change into an adult body due to hormonal changes. In girls, it leads to menstruation, breast development and body changes, while in boys, it triggers sperm production, voice deepening and muscle growth. These changes prepare the body for reproduction.
