Why Women?

Socio-economic, Cultural, Political Factors

• Economic Disempowerment: A Social Norm

• Education: Out of Girls Reach

• Conflict: A Detriment to Women’s Health

Biological and Environmental Factors

• Semen: An Enhancer of Virus Infection

• Malaria: An Environmental Hazard to Pregnant women

Economic Disempowerment

42% of girls are subject to child marriage

80% of those living below poverty are women

Women often denied inheritance and
