HEALTH (HIV AND SRHR)
In many areas of South Sudan AGYW often times due to poverty and economic challenges tend to resort to looking up to elder men who can cater for their needs and this puts them at risk of exposing them to HIV.
Understanding and meeting the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescent and young people, including those living with HIV is essential in supporting this growing population to thrive.
