Résumé anglais The relationship between health workers and young girls in Burkina Faso
This article analyses the relationship between professional health workers and young girls in access to family planning structures in Ougadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. It shows that the stigmatization of practices, the weight of norms and the question of confidentiality in relationships between young people and adults lead to a social gap between the recipients and the family planning services. These limitations on access to preventive health services regarding sex and birth control expose young girls to at-risk behaviour such as undesired pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and illegal abortions.
