Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice linked to HIV Prevention in Young Children and Adolescents

This study covers children and young people living in vulnerable communities in high resettlement areas and a high-density poor peri-urban area in Luanda. The study carried out over three months highlighted that low levels of awareness and a lack of information in terms of quality reproductive and sexual health, within both rural and urban communities, is compounded by a lack of resources within social sectors. Young girls, the disabled and those involved or impacted upon by conflict are particularly vulnerable. In addition the study identified a range of key challenges that are faced by young people when considering their sexual and reproductive health.
