• Teenage pregnancies are a global problem but occur most often in poorer
and marginalized communities. Teenage pregnancy is when a woman
under 20 gets pregnant. It usually refers to teens between the ages of 15-
19. But it can include girls as young as 10. It’s also called teen pregnancy
or adolescent pregnancy. Many girls face considerable pressure to marry
early and become mothers while they are still a child.

technology, social media, mobile application and dating mobile
application.
• In order to prevent teenage pregnancy, teenagers need to have a comprehensive
understanding of abstinence, contraceptive techniques, and consequences. Although
there are many different ways to prevent a teenage girl from becoming pregnant,
the only one that absolutely effective is sexual abstinence.
• Family Planning is a human right. We want all girls and women to make their own
sexual and reproductive health choices. Not least because it’s a human right.
