Abstract: Structural interventions have the potential to reduce complexity in the lives of marginalised cis girls/young women and promote their health and well-being so that they have improved chances to reach their potential. However, most interventions available for this group focus on the micro/psychological level of wellness, risks associated with sexualized violence, and behaviour-based interventions which do little to address the root causes of complexity in their lives. Our scoping study was conducted to identify structural interventions, those that improve the environmental contexts within which health is produced and reproduced, that exist and have been evaluated for marginalised girls around the globe.
