    Like and Share! Our new report with Save the Children did find some noteworthy practices of ASRH (adolescent sexual and reproductive health) in humanitarian settings, in spite of large gaps. Three programs that are especially successful: Profamilia Colombia, Adolescent Reproductive Health Network (ARHN) in Thailand, and Straight Talk Foundation in Uganda. We recommend that donors should increase support for holistic, comprehensive, flexible ASRH programming, and humanitarian organizations should provide integrated and adolescent-friendly SRH services that seek to engage adolescents in a meaningful way.

    Adolescent refugees have a high risk of unwanted pregnancy and maternal mortality, yet ASRH (adolescent sexual and reproductive health) services are not being prioritized in the humanitarian sector. Share and Like to help us spread the word about the URGENT need to scale up ASRH services in humanitarian settings!

    Adolescent refugee girls have a higher risk of becoming pregnant, and dying during child birth than any other age group. Yet our recent report found that among the 200 humanitarian sexual and reproductive programs we surveyed, only 37 had any services specifically targeted to girls 10-19. Share and Like to help us spread the word about the necessity of ASRH (adolescent sexual and reproductive health) services for refugee girls. Because teens have different needs than adult women, and refugees are no exception. Read more at: http://wrc.ms/1brYJoo Follow our ASRHnow campaign on twitter @wrcommission, #ASRHnow
