Recommendation
New
Implement interventions to enhance adolescent girls’ abilities to resist coerced sex and obtain support if they experience coerced sex by: • building their self-esteem; • developing their life skills in areas such as communication and negotiation; and • improving their links to social networks and their ability to obtain social support. The above interventions should be combined with interventions to create supportive social norms that do not condone coerced sex
