为实现青少年的性健康权利,缔约国履行《非洲人权和人民权利宪章关于非洲妇女权利的议定书》第14条规定的义务时应体现《儿童权利公约》和《非洲儿童福利与权利宪章》阐明的儿童权利的关键原则。然而,羞辱青少年性行为的社会规范对青少年的性保健构成了障碍,包括他们获得避孕药具以避免意外怀孕并保护自己免受性传播感染和艾滋病毒感染。各国应提高卫生专业人员的认识并培训他们根据儿童权利原则提供性健康服务和护理,并制定有利的法律​​和政策以便利他们与青少年开展的工作。 (C) 2015 年由 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 代表国际妇产科联合会发布。
To realize adolescents' right to sexual health, state parties' implementation of the obligations stipulated under Article 14 of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa should reflect the key principles of the rights of the child, articulated under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Welfare and Rights of the Child. However, societal norms that stigmatize adolescent sexual conduct constitute barriers to adolescents' sexual health care, including their access to contraceptives to avoid unwanted pregnancies and protect themselves from STIs and HIV. States should sensitize and train health professionals to provide sexual health services and care in accordance with the principles of the rights of the child, and create enabling laws and policies to facilitate their work with adolescents.
