Early marriage in Kenya isn’t a choice— it’s driven by poverty, limited schooling & gender norms. Programs like AGI-K by @Pop_Council keep girls in school & delay marriage. Ahead of #DayOfTheGirl, hear from @eve_karijo on using evidence to invest in girls’ futures.

Check out this blog ahead of #WCD2024 by @eve_karijo, @KAustrianPC, Miriam Temin & Mame Soukeye Mbaye, highlighting different "tools" in the "tool box" like the #SWEDD program aimed at helping #AdolescentGirls make informed #SRHR choices. 👇
Population Council@Pop_Council

#AdolescentGirls have unique needs. Programs like #SWEDD show that integrating #SRH education helps girls make informed choices on #contraception, avoid early pregnancies & stay in school longer. Learn more in our latest #WCD2024 blog: bit.ly/3Bd4Q8q
