Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) are basic human rights, and all people have to have the right for equal access to SRH education and services through ICT Applications: e-health. Nowadays the services are available online- Facebook, Facebook live, YouTube, Cell Phone SMS; and offline courtyard meeting, house visit etc. The issue of SRHR in Bangladesh still remains sensitive to discuss openly, particularly among the adolescents despite its importance in their life; especially at this delicate stage. In Bangladesh, adolescents represent more than one-fourth of the total population. Many young people in Bangladesh do not have access to adequate information about their SRHR because of strong social and cultural taboos around the issue which causes a pervasive silence. The current national school curriculum contains only minimum information about SRHR and often teachers are incapable & reluctant even, to teach the issues in the classrooms. It leaves a vacuum for the young people especially the adolescents to access fact information on SRHR. As a result, most adolescents enter into unsafe relationships, marriage, and pregnancy without any adequate preparation. Entering suddenly into such crucial life events, they even do not have access to the obvious necessary SRH information to manage such situations and ask for services as needed.
