Hopes and dreams for adolescent girls in West and Central Africa

Data and Research Gender Publication & data launches

By Prerna Banati and Catherine Müller

Data and Research Publication & data launches

By UNICEF Data: Chibwe Lwamba, Aleya Khalifa, and Jennifer Requejo

The world pledged to end AIDS by 2030. Though great strides have been made toward this goal for young children, adolescent girls and boys are being left behind.
