Adolescents in Timor-Leste face barriers to obtaining accurate and constructive information about sexual reproductive health. Teenage pregnancy is 24%, and early pregnancies are often swiftly followed by marriages; 19% of girls are married by the time they are 18. Deeply entrenched gender inequalities, high rates of violence against women, barriers to reproductive health care and the limited availability of comprehensive sexual education – play a role in these grim figures.
