Lack of safe spaces: The prevalence of gender-based violence leaves girls vulnerable to harassment, abuse, exploitation and violence, limiting their freedom and well-being.
Inadequate access to sexual and reproductive health education: Knowledge and resources can be scarce, putting girls at risk for unwanted pregnancies and health issues.
