\"\"Synopsis:<\/span><\/b> Dr Farnaz Sabet and Ms Suchitra Rath will speak about the state of evidence for adolescent maternal health care in the Asia Pacific region, and some of the reasons why pregnant girls have been excluded from the research and policy space. We will highlight how easy it is for pregnant and parenting adolescents to be framed as adults, and thus lose support for their ongoing development. Both speakers will speak about Participatory learning and action women’s groups which aim to mobilise the community for maternal and child health. We will explore how pregnant adolescents engage with such groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
