AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: TOOLS
FOR POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Global Health
Practitioners Conference
May 6, 2014
WHAT WE’LL DISCUSS
• Solutions from the 2013 UNFPA State
of the World Population report1
• Why take action?
• Strategies that work
• Tools to engage and motivate
adolescents and their communities
1 Motherhood in Childhood – Facing the Challenge of Adolescent Pregnancy
“I was 14… My mom and her sisters began to
prepare food, and my dad asked my brothers,
sisters and me to wear our best clothes because
we were about to have a party. Because I
didn’t know what was going on, I celebrated
like everyone else. It was that day I learned
that it was my wedding and that I
had to join my husband. I tried
to escape but was
caught. So I found myself with a husband
three times older than me…. This marriage was
supposed to save me from debauchery.
School was over, just like that. Ten
months later, I found myself
with a baby in my arms.
One day I decided to run away, but I agreed
to come back to my husband if he would let me
go back to school. I returned to school, have
three children and am
in seventh grade.”
Clarisse, 17, Chad

I sat down with my brothers and told them
that I am in a group called GREAT. They have been
teaching us that if you want to be ideal man,
you have to be a person who does not
drink, you should not quarrel with a
woman, you should not beat people. If
there is a problem you need to come and ask gently
without quarreling. I started the talk because I saw that
there really is a problem in my home. There is no respect,
sometimes they drink and then start fighting. I told them
this is not good, let us discuss. Then I brought this idea to
them. I told them how we should live
together in a better way.”

IMPORTANT FOR BOYS TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE
IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHAT GIRLS ARE EXPERIENCING

Because I didn’t know what was going on, I celebrated like everyone else. It was that day I learned that it was my wedding and that I had to join my husband. I tried to escape but was caught. So I found myself with a husband three times older than me…. This marriage was supposed to save me from debauchery. School was over, just like that. Ten months later, I found myself with a baby in my arms. One day I decided to run away, but I agreed to come back to my husband if he would let me go back to school. I returned to school, have three children and am in seventh grade.” Clarisse, 17, Chad

  • 21. I sat down with my brothers and told them that I am in a group called GREAT. They have been teaching us that if you want to be ideal man, you have to be a person who does not drink, you should not quarrel with a woman, you should not beat people. If there is a problem you need to come and ask gently without quarreling. I started the talk because I saw that there really is a problem in my home. There is no respect, sometimes they drink and then start fighting. I told them this is not good, let us discuss. Then I brought this idea to them. I told them how we should live together in a better way.” - 19 year-old married male Source: Cohort Interviews
