This country profile has the objective to document the state of policy and programming to support menstrual health in Lao PDR.
Adolescent pregnancy remains a pressing concern for girls in the Southeast Asia region, hampering their ability to pursue their dreams and aspirations. This report brings attention to the specific contexts, dynamics and influences that contribute to adolescent pregnancy in Lao PDR.
