Context
WHO estimates show that by the time adolescent girls are 15-19 years of age, nearly 1 in 4 have experienced intimate partner violence, setting many of them on a lifetime trajectory of adverse health and wellbeing outcomes ranging from unwanted pregnancies, school dropouts, substance misuse, unhealthy relationship patterns into adulthood, and more.
Panelists and participants will identify vulnerabilities of adolescent girls faced with violence, highlight evidence and good practices on prevention efforts focused on adolescent girls, and explore how evidence packages, such as INSPIRE and RESPECT, can contribute to advancing programming for adolescent girls.
