Regional Forum on Adolescent Pregnancy, Child Marriage and Early Union in S/E Asia
Highlights
This report details the central messages and discussions arising at the Regional Forum on Adolescent Pregnancy, Child Marriage and Early Union in South-East Asia and Mongolia. The meeting resulted in a call for action to engage political will; invest in a better understanding of the situation; develop enabling and empowering laws, policies and programmes that recognize adolescent sexuality; meaningfully engage with young people; develop multi-sectoral approaches and relationships; address harmful gender norms and non-consensual sexual behaviour; provide comprehensive sexuality education in line with international standards; and make services accessible, non-judgemental and tailored to the needs of all adolescents.
