Which is also translated as " consciousness raising"and "critical consciousness". The term was popularized by Brazilian educator,activist and theorist paulo Freire in his 1970 work pedagogy of the oppressed conscientization is the action or process of making others aware of political and social conditions,especially as a precursor to challanging inequalities of treatment or opportunity;the fact of being aware of these conditions.we arranged a conscientization programme during the so days teaching practice.we selected the topic" Menstrual hygiene during the periods".Menstruation is also known as a period or monthly is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue(known as menses)from the inner lining of the ulters through the vagina.


NEEDS AND SIGNIFICANCE:


                      The conscientization,is awareness programme,and was conducted for the 9E students of the Nithya sahaya matha girls high school,kottiyam.because of it was a girls school we took a girls based topic for making an awareness among them about the topic,"Menstrual hygiene during the periods".it is a life long based issue of women.Now a days girls have no sufficient awareness about the menses time hygiene.So it was important to make them aware of the things related  to the  "periods time ". Adolescent children has a premature nature.so they wanted  to be conscious about  hygiene  expecially  during the time  of menses .If it is not so  they  will become  face  many problems in future  related to physical  health .The  main aim of providing  this  awareness  was  to give  a critical  consciousness to the student  about the problems what  they face  and the reason s for the cause of the  problem and  how to  overcome those problems.

OBJECTIVES:


* To develop critical consciousness about the hygiene of children

*To make the children aware of the problems which  may have to face by the lack of physical hygiene during menses.

CONCLUSION :

   For  building  up  an awareness  among the  adolescent  childs to the  well being of the  society ,the physical  hygiene  programme  were conducted .The Main  of  conscientization  process  is  to  build  a dynamic  change  force  never  comprising with the  status of the  traditional thinking , attitude and habits.
                                    paulo Friere in his book says that failure of  a society  lies in the  ignorance and   lethargy of  a good  majority of  people . In  this  book  he explains about  the  importance of  education and  how  education  can  be  used  for  conscientization  of  the  individual  for  there libretion.Education  serves as an  effective  instrument  for  conscientization .Changes is possible  through  education .So proper and  effective education  and  awareness  should  be  provided  to  people  to  make  better  citizens .
