Importance of SDG 3 for the Empowerment of Adolescent Girls

Laurette Cucuzza, @LauretteCucuzza, the Technical Advisor for Adolescent Reproductive Sexual Health Rights w/gender focus at Dasra curated our account last week and held a TweetChat on the importance of good health and well-being for the empowerment of adolescent girls.

She helped bring out the perspective of empowerment of girls in terms of their health and well-being which is a major issue around the world. Access to education, information, medical and health facilities factor high in empowering both girls and women to take informed decisions in matters of their own health. She also highlighted the importance of creating conversations around sexual, reproductive health, maternal and mental health as well between both genders to stop perpetuating taboos and ensuring gender equality. Data from researches conducted by Dasra helped participants understand the gravity of the situation.
