In the Sahel, there are numerous, interconnected social determinants that influence access to reproductive healthcare. What is more, these social determinants exist within an unstable political and religious context. Adolescents’ room for manoeuvre is limited by society, but they sometimes find ways to bypass restrictions. These strategies are often dangerous, and sometimes innovative, and it is important that we try to identify and understand them. The aim of this study was to analyse the social issues related to access to reproductive health care for adolescents, and identify risky behaviours and social vulnerabilities among this population.
