Objective: To know about awareness level of females about reproductive health in their adolescent age. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted to collect data from the adolescent females studying at university of Lahore located in higher socioeconomic status neighborhoods of Lahore. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the participants. SPSS was used to analyze this data. Results: The study found scanty knowledge of important reproductive health issues among adolescent females. Because of the social taboo and stigma attached with sex education in Pakistan, girls were unable to get proper information from media and other sources like internet because of their family environment; parents were only one to play an effective role in creating awareness among adolescents, which can be unreliable and exploitative because of illiteracy. This study has identified the need for adequate sexual and reproductive health information among adolescents. Conclusion: Due to ineffective role played by various agents of socialization, especially parents and teachers, there is less understanding and knowledge among adolescent females about reproductive health issues in order to prepare them for pubertal transition.
