Complete the following 7 information, education, and communication illustrations in A2 standard size. Each illustration should be based on the key message provided.

1. Target: Entire community Theme: Health Using hormonal medications without a valid medical reason and physician supervision poses serious risks to the health and growth of young girls.
2. Target: Entire community Theme: Health Persuading or forcing girls to take hormonal medication is a harmful practice and significantly increases the risks to their health and well-being, even when done under the false assumption that this would prepare them for marriage and motherhood.
3. Target: Entire community Theme: Health Even when starting a family is the goal, giving hormones to a young girl to promote pregnancy is dangerous and will likely not work.. If pregnancy occurs in a young girl, the risk of serious illness and long term health problems increase. Children’s bodies are simply not ready for pregnancy.
4. Target: Entire community Theme: GBV prevention Forcing girls to take hormones puts pressure on them to engage in sexual relations before they are ready. Research shows that this puts them more at risk of various forms of violence, especially domestic violence and exploitation.
5. Target: Entire community Theme: GBV prevention There is never a good reason for child marriage, which is destructive to the health and well-being of girls. We must act together to protect our children from harm, even during the worst circumstances.
6. Target: Adolescent girls Theme: GBV response If you are feeling threatened or coerced into early pregnancy or taking hormonal medications, you can seek confidential support from GBV specialists or trusted health care providers. You have the right to ask for help and you do not have to manage this on your own.
7. Target: Adolescent girls Theme: GBV response You have the right to make critical decisions about your own body, including when and how to be sexually active or to get pregnant. If you need support, consult a trusted health care provider or GBV specialist. Illustrations are expected to be impactful and culturally relevant, in addition to being easily understandable by the target audience.
