Abstract:
Adolescent schoolgirls in Bujumbura still face barriers to accessing SRH information and services. Initiatives and efforts to improve access are hindered by the sociocultural norms that consider SRHS to be only for married persons. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education integrate comprehensive sexual education into the school curriculum and empower parents to initiate conversations with their adolescents on sexual matters and to health authorities to make SRH adolescent friendly.
