Very young adolescents in Madagascar need enhanced access to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) before and during puberty to prepare against threats of sexual coercion and violence, unintended pregnancy, and childhood marriage. The Malagasy adolescent birth rate is 145, as compared to 95 for neighboring nations, meaning that one in three Malagasy girls will become a mother before she is 18 years old. The prevalence of child marriage is also one of the highest in the region, at 48%.
