Factors associated with married adolescent girls’ and young women’s participation in decision-making regarding sexual and reproductive health in Tanzania: a nationwide cross-sectional survey
The results indicate that AGYW participation in SRH decision-making remains low. To enhance the involvement of married AGYW in these decisions, it is essential to implement targeted educational programs that include workshops and community-based education, especially for those with limited educational backgrounds. Furthermore, empowering women through various economic activities is crucial. Stakeholders should intensify their efforts to achieve universal health coverage for AGYW, ensuring equitable access to SRH services.
