    Exploring intersections of localised gender norms and unanticipated effects of a sexual and reproductive health intervention: Implications of respect and being a "good girl" in Zambezia Province, Mozambique

    The authors conducted a longitudinal, qualitative evaluation of girls ages 13 to 17 in Mozambique who had participated in a combined economic strengthening and sexual and reproductive health intervention. Thematic analysis found that intervention participants and other household and community members idealize girls who appear to be submissive, subservient and sexually chaste. Respondents believed the intervention reinforced these behaviors, although they were not generally aligned with the formal intervention content and were sometimes contrary to the intervention’s goals.

Group-based mentoring programs demonstrated the most promise, and successful interventions consisted of multiple components, including mentoring. Despite promising evidence, the authors suggest more research to better understand the relationship between reproductive health and access to social and economic resources and the impact of mentoring programs.
