Our research: The case for prioritizing adolescent girls’ and women’s nutrition now

This chapter explains why the nutrition of adolescent girls and women needs greater attention – and what this would mean for their well-being and dignity, for the growth and development of their children, and for social and economic progress. We outline the analysis and research that UNICEF has undertaken to bring visibility to the status and drivers of poor nutrition in adolescent girls and women, and to inform solutions that can truly transform their nutrition and well-being.
