3. If you were to pick one organization for membership thereof,
which would it be and why? (minimum of 150 words)
Amarela would be the organization I would choose if I had to
choose which one to join. Teenage pregnancies are quite common in this generation, as we have all observed. Early pregnancy statistics are on the rise, and one issue, in my opinion, is caused by teens' ignorance, desire, and curiosity about sex. Sex education is essential. I want to assist in educating young people about all facets of sexual education and show them how to take care of their bodies. Additionally, I would like to encourage women in getting access to better and safer birth control, menstruation products, STD testing, medications, and other items.Amarela and I both want to see every Filipino attain these goals, therefore we must communicate to the government how important they are. To make these things better and more widely available, we need to advocate for various laws and measures.
