Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Vulnerable Girls:
Focusing on girls living with HIV, internally displaced populations, orphans, sex workers and teenage mothers
The Situation: There are more young people today, and HIV/AIDS has affected more than half of the world's population that is under the age of 25 years. Uganda's young population is 52% of the population and this is the age that is most affected by HIV/AIDs. The high risk sexually active women account for 16% of the youth, while high risk sexually active men account for 36%. Related to these behavioural challenges are unwanted pregnancies, sexually
transmitted infections and cross-generational sex that are grossly exploitative, especially for the girl child.
