The Adolescent Girls in Crisis research is drawn directly from the voices and experiences of girls in three of the world’s most troubled and volatile locations: South Sudan, the Lake Chad Basin and the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.

Adolescent girls living through these long-term crises face particular challenges in different locations. However, their lives and experiences also give us significant insights into the risks encountered and the courage shown by girls and young women dealing with similar situations all over the world.

The report presents findings and recommendations that will help to support girls facing the toughest, long-term crises, wherever they are.
