Introducing 'Bol Behen' - our chatbot in India connecting girls to healthcare

Bol Behen is Girl Effect's sex and relationships chatbot in India. She is a digital big sister to provide girls with a private, online space where they can access trusted, non-judgmental advice about sex, STIs, contraception and relationships. Bol Behen - colloquial Hindi for ‘Speak, Sister’ - is designed to boost girls’ confidence to speak up about health concerns, improve her experience through increased knowledge and to direct girls to access services.
Every time an adolescent girl from a vulnerable background has a question about her health - we want her to turn to Bol Behen and leave the chatbot feeling confident about making a decision related to her health and body.
