在科特迪瓦，14—24岁的年轻人占人口的25％，是特别容易受到生殖健康问题困扰的年龄组。性传播疾病和艾滋病主要影响15—18岁年龄段的人；早孕率高；广泛求助于非法堕胎的妇女越来越年轻，表明为年轻人提供的计划生育服务尚未满足需要。为应付这一局面，科特迪瓦当局采取了几项措施，包括发动广泛的信息传播运动和使人们易于得到避孕工具。但除了这些开始奏效的做法之外，似乎尤其应该关注社会地位低下的校外年轻人和女孩子。提倡男女平等和堕胎合法化可以更有力地促进年轻人的生殖健康。
In Côte d’Ivoire, young people aged 14-24 account for 25% of the population and are particularly vulnerable to reproductive health problems. Sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS mainly affect people in the 15-18 age group; high rates of early pregnancy; and the increasing availability of women who resort to illegal abortions, suggests that the provision of family planning services to young people is not yet adequate. To deal with this situation, Ivorian authorities have taken several measures, including the launch of a broad information dissemination campaign and the easy access to contraceptives. But beyond these initial steps, it seems that particular attention should be paid to the socially disadvantaged young people and girls outside school. Advocating equality between men and women and legalizing abortion can contribute more vigorously to the reproductive health of young people.
