As the first generation to grow up under democracy adolescents in post-apartheid South Africa lead lives that are filled with new opportunities and overshadowed by rampant violence and crime. Even as the end of apartheid improved the lives of many South Africans and extinguished much of the political violence that preceded the transition violent crime has increased dramatically within certain communities. The presence of multiple and simultaneous forms of violence and the systemic lack of safety are experienced most acutely by adolescents - in particular adolescent girls. High levels of violence and crime within the community are coupled with violence within the home and in schools: again both of these phenomena primarily affect girls. The Population Councils Transitions to Adulthood program examines the particular factors that shape adolescents life chances and choices. In South Africa for instance Council researchers have studied how economic literacy and life skills education affect young men and women who are economically and socially disenfranchised and at high risk for HIV infection. To take full advantage of the skills these programs promote however young people must have access to safe spaces-both within the program and beyond: in the home at school and in the community.
