The Department for International Development's (DFID) Strategic Vision for Girls and Women was launched on the centenary of International Women's Day in March 2011. It identified four 'game-changing' pillars of work for the Department, challenging us to be more innovative and bold in our programming for girls and women. It has also encouraged a more holistic approach to programming to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes for adolescent girls, encouraging DFID to improve its understanding of the wider factors that affect adolescent girls' sexual, reproductive and maternal health. The age of first pregnancy is closely linked to the age of first marriage, widespread coerced sex, girls' education and overall, to what it means to be a girl in a given society. DFID has increased the priority it places on tackling female genital cutting and is currently exploring what more it can do to support efforts to abandon the practice.
