We are collaborating with AMAZE to adopt the videos in Marathi and Hindi and increase Indian adolescents’ access to sexuality education. Most adolescents in India do not receive comprehensive sexuality education in schools. Parents and educators often find it challenging to initiate conversations and avoid broaching topics. The Amaze videos in Marathi and Hindi are expected to bridge this gap by giving direct open access to adolescents and adults.
