In South Africa, education and awareness raising initiatives have previously been undertaken to address the reproductive health needs of a predominantly urban-based refugee population. As part of this national strategy, the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) conducted a study to obtain baseline information about knowledge, attitudes and practices in respect of reproductive health among young refugees, aged 10 to 24 years, living in Gauteng province, South Africa. The report below presents a summary of the main findings of the baseline study divided into four main sections.
