Tackling Early Pregnancy and Motherhood: The Health and Education Nexus
2023-12-07 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
7 December, 2-3pm
Join the Open University to explore the connection between health and education through a case study on the experiences of young mothers in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, adolescent pregnancy and motherhood are becoming common experiences within educational spaces. Yet, in-school pregnancy and motherhood and how it intersects with health outcomes are often overlooked and silenced in policies, interventions, and social discourses. This has significant implications for the lives of pregnant teenagers and unmarried young mothers.
Dr Ayomide Oluseye, an ESRC Research Fellow, will share findings and recommendations from research with young women and stakeholder workshops with professionals in the health and educational sector in South-West Nigeria. During the seminar, we will delve into unheard stories of young women’s challenges, open up dialogue on the intersections of health and education, and consider the opportunities and challenges for interdisciplinary working.
Register for the seminar on Eventbrite.
