‘If her body responds then you know she wants it’
BACKGROUND: Although progress has been made, adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (ASRHR) remain a global public health concern and continued investments are necessary. The way young people perceive, and experience sexual consent is at the centre of free and informed decision-making, a critical element of ASRHR. Nevertheless, the evidence on young people's views of sexual consent remains limited, especially in low- and middle-inco…
What About Well‐Being? Measuring What We Really Care About in Sexual and Reproductive Health
The well‐being of individuals and communities is increasingly recognized as a core objective of economic and global development policies and programs. However, existing measures of well‐being neglect sexual and reproductive experiences, which are core dimensions of people's lives. While there has been increasing attention to the concept of sexual well‐being, measures of sexual and reproductive health are predominantly deficit‐based and ignore whe…
Urban neighbourhood classification and multi-scale heterogeneity analysis of Greater London
We study the compositional and configurational heterogeneity of Greater London at the city- and neighbourhood-scale using Geographic Information System (GIS) data. Urban morphometric indicators are calculated including plan-area indices and fractal dimensions of land cover, frontal area index of buildings, evenness, and contagion. To distinguish between city-scale heterogeneity and neighbourhood-scale heterogeneity, the study area of 720 km 2 is …
Young people’s choice and voice concerning sex and relationships
Young people's SRHR remains a challenge in Uganda in the context of a conservative political and religious environment that reinforces social and gender norms around youth and young women's sexuality. The limited effect of the programme on increasing young people's voice and choice concerning relationships in Uganda can be understood in the context of a ban on comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) and the COVID-19 pandemic. These structural and…

Not by CSE alone… Furthering reflections on international cooperation in sex education
Recently in Sex Education authors have raised concern with regards to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in resource-poor countries as part of Western European development aid policy. It has been argued that the agency-focused and rights-based nature of ‘northern’ sexuality education puts too much responsibility on young people’s shoulders and disregards their insecurity and shame, as well as local culture more generally. By promoting a righ…
A qualitative study to explore the barriers and enablers for young people with disabilities to access sexual and reproductive health services in Senegal
Use of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is low amongst young people in Senegal. Although the evidence base on young people's SRH needs is growing, research on access to SRH services amongst young people with disabilities is negligible. Our study explored the SRH vulnerabilities and expressed needs for young people with disabilities, experiences of accessing SRH services and what access challenges they face. Male and female peer resea…
Advocating for safe abortion in Rwanda
In June 2012, a new abortion law came into effect in Rwanda as part of a larger review of Rwanda's penal code. This was a significant step in a country where it was previously taboo even to discuss abortion. This article describes some of the crucial elements in how this success was achieved in Rwanda, which began through a project launched by Rutgers WPF on “sensitive issues in young people's sexuality” in several countries. This paper describes…
Contextualising sexual harassment of adolescent girls in Bangladesh
Violence against women is a social mechanism confirming women's subordination in many societies. Sexual violence and harassment have various negative psychological impacts on girls, including a persistent feeling of insecurity and loss of self-esteem. This article aims to contextualize a particular form of sexual harassment, namely “eve teasing”, experienced by Bangladeshi adolescent girls (12–18 years) which emerged from a study of adolescent se…
The importance of a positive approach to sexuality in sexual health programmes for unmarried adolescents in Bangladesh
This article explores the mismatch that exists between what unmarried adolescents in Bangladesh experience, want and need in regard to their sexuality and what they receive from their society, which negatively impacts on their understanding of sexuality and their well-being. The findings provide a picture of Bangladeshi adolescents' (12-18 years) sexual feelings, experiences, behaviours, anxieties and concerns - in particular in relation to desir…
