Partnering With Adolescent Mothers to Break the Cycle of Intergenerational Poverty
By Conrad N. Hilton Foundation
External Side Event at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly
We are honored to invite you to a special side event grounded in the lived experiences of adolescent mothers in East and Southern Africa, who are key to achieving the SDGs. On Monday, September 18 from 3:00–5:00 p.m. EDT, join co-hosts Children’s Rights and Violence Prevention Fund, Children’s Rights Innovation Fund, GIRL Center Population Council, International Resource for Impact Storytelling, and We Are Purposeful as we reflect on narrative research and insights from adolescent mothers in Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania as they articulate their needs, priorities, and solutions for providing nurturing care for their children and securing their own futures. We’ll also discuss what formal power holders can do to center adolescent mothers in policy solutions and actively engage them in program design, development, and implementation. The event will conclude with a cocktail reception.
Space for this event is limited. Please RSVP.
