Small Group Discussion: Combating Teen Pregnancy, Cervical Cancer, and HIV in Caribbean Girls & Women
Many girls and women in the Caribbean are facing health crises—HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death among young women in the region, cervical cancer (a vaccine-preventable disease) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Caribbean women aged 15 to 49, and an estimated 20 percent of Caribbean women give birth before the age of 19. In Jamaica, for example, 72 out of every 1,000 girls aged 15 to 19 have given birth, and this number jumps to 90 in the Dominican Republic. In 2015, the Government of Jamaica and the United Nations Population Fund—with additional partners including Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of Government—committed to address these health challenges by implementing and testing a pilot project with the goals of reducing teenage pregnancy, preventing cervical cancer, and eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS across four regions in Jamaica. This Commitment to Action will fulfill these goals by improving access to health services, training health care workers, supporting legislative advocacy, and creating public awareness and education campaigns in all Caribbean nations.
In this session, CGI members will:
• Discuss how to support CGI commitment-makers working on girls' and women’s health in the Caribbean through financial resources and supplies, commodities, and pharmaceuticals.
• Explore technical expertise that can benefit government, policy, pilot implementation, and scaling across the Caribbean.
• Examine culturally relevant media and communications strategies, which are important vehicles for educating parents and young people about the benefits of both prevention and care seeking.
PARTICIPANTS:
Sandra Granger, First Lady, Guyana
Timothy Harris, Prime Minister, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund
