UNICEF- AFS 0091-0094 Rohingy Adolescent girls posing for group photo in front of their Adolescent Friendly Space. In 2018, UNICEF supported 60 Adolescent Friendly Spaces and 220 Adolescent Clubs in the Rohingya refugee camps. Through these facilities, UNICEF reached 40,000 adolescents with a range of protection services and learning opportunities. Adolescent-Friendly Spaces offer life skills based education, case management and recreational activities. Participating adolescents follow a four-month-long course, attending sessions for four hours a week on topics such as health and nutrition; prevention of HIV/AIDS; gender and GBV; child marriage; child labour; trafficking; peace building; leadership; employability skills; values and ethics; and equality and equity.

UNICEF- AFS -0095-0097 Jannatul Ferdous (16), member of Adolescent Friendly Space, smiles for a photo. We come here regularly even though it is far because we learn about important issues like child marriage, trafficking, sexual harassment and other new things at the adolescent club. Adolescent girls face many challenges in the camps. Their movements are often restricted and so the Adolescent Friendly Spaces provide a recreational space where adolescent girls can learn important life skills to protect themselves and they can find out how to access services inside the camps.
