dc.description.abstractPregnant adolescents (ages 10-19) seeking antenatal services are compromised by a complex power imbalance that involves financial dependence, lack of choice, lack of personal autonomy in decision making, experiences of social stigma, judgement, violence and abuse. The study analyzed experiences of pregnant adolescents in accessing antenatal care in Misungwi district, Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Low and middle-income countries, including Tanzania, bear the largest proportion of adolescent perinatal deaths globally. Most adolescent girls in Tanzania do not access antenatal care at health facilities. Multi-level interventions are needed to empower adolescent girls, and to address policies and social constructs that may contribute to power imbalances.en
