Access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services is fundamental to the physical health and psychosocial well-being of adolescent girls. Emergencies increase the risk of gender-based violence (GBV) for adolescent girls and may exacerbate their health risks, diminish educational opportunities and expose them to other human rights violations, including early marriage and early pregnancy.

This toolkit from the Women’s Refugee Commission and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was created by drawing on learning and experiences from assessments and pilots in three humanitarian settings (Lebanon, Iraq and Bangladesh). Through observations of program activities and discussions with adolescent girls, their parents and caregivers, and other key stakeholders, it is evident that women and girls’ space spaces can be an ideal space for adolescent girls to receive valuable sexual and reproductive health information.
