Accountability is a loaded concept. For many, the term itself has negative and punitive connotations. When it comes to accountability to adolescents—who number 1·2 billion today¹—discourse is rare. Adolescents are the central promise for accelerated, lasting progress on the Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health² and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But for adolescents, who lack power, vote, and influential voice, the notion of accountability to their health, development, and rights is fragile.

对青少年的责任在哪里？

问责制是一个加载的概念。对许多人来说，这个词本身具有负面和惩罚性的含义。当谈到对青少年的责任时——今天有 1·20 亿¹ ——话语很少见。青少年是促进妇女、儿童和青少年健康全球战略²和可持续发展目标 (SDG)加速、持久进展的核心承诺。但对于缺乏权力、投票权和有影响力的声音的青少年来说，对他们的健康、发展和权利负责的概念是脆弱的。
