Educational Opportunities for Adolescent Mothers (2001, No. 6)

The 27th Conference of IFUW resolves that national federations and associations (NFAs):

1. inquire into the opportunities available in their respective countries to enable teenage girls to continue their education and career training during pregnancy and child-rearing.
2. lobby their respective governments to formulate policies and implement and monitor programmes to facilitate such educational opportunities, including the provision of accommodation for child-care;
3. work with other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to provide such facilities as a short-term measure outside the public sector; and
4. join with other NGOs to persuade their governments to fulfil their obligation under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
