Addressing adolescence health: A crucial part of life cycle - Bangladesh


According to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) data from 2015, adolescents represent more than one-fifth of Bangladesh's total population. These young individuals, especially girls, are undergoing significant biological, physical, psychological, and mental transitions.

This significant adolescent population presents a demographic window of opportunity. They can offer a wealth of possibilities if they are well nurtured and educated.
