Amid growing global recognition of the importance of young people’s sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing, an intervention to support peer-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for young women involved in sex work in Ethiopia was implemented in 2020. Since 2018, conflict has driven an upsurge in distress migration by young women to some intervention sites.
