This episode examines the global decline in women’s rights, the rise in domestic violence, and the growing risks for adolescent girls' sexual and reproductive health. We highlight the 2019 WHO report showing maternal health conditions as a major cause of death for girls aged 15-19, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 1 in 10 adolescent girls give birth, yet few have access to family planning. We’ll discuss the urgent need for better health care and decision-making power for girls in regions like Nigeria, Mali, and Senegal. Tune in for insights on these critical issues.
