INTRODUCTION
Nearly 16 million girls between the ages of 15 and 19 give birth each year.
70,000 adolescent girls die each year from complications of pregnancy and
childbirth. This early pregnancy has become a scourge among young girls that
has reached a critical state with serious consequences. This is defined as the fact
that young people, especially girls, engage in sexual practices for the sake of
pleasure without thinking about the consequences that would ensue.
BODY OF WORK
The big precocity is a scourge that today affects many girls in the world.
The fact is that many young people, especially the young, give themselves to
sexual practice without having to know the harm and the consequences that
could ensue. This plague is due to many causes:
This scourge has very unpleasant consequences which are of social, political,
and sanitary order and I go on for the girl. We have:
In terms of health
These early pregnancies are very dangerous for both the mother and the child:
every day, 194 girls die as a result of early pregnancy. Yet 90% of the causes of
these deaths are preventable. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the
second leading cause of death for girls aged 15 to 19 worldwide. These deaths
are usually caused by a lack of health facilities to monitor these high-risk
pregnancies, or the money to access them.
On the academic level
According to a study we conducted, 58% of girls never or rarely return to school
after having a child. This figure increases when girls are also married.
On the social level we have : Marginalization
In many societies, the honor of the family is based on the virginity of the girls.
Girls who become pregnant out of wedlock are therefore discriminated against
and marginalized. They may be rejected by their families and thus become
vulnerable to violence and abuse, domestic slavery and sexual exploitation.
On the political level
Perpetuating Women's Inferior Status and PovertyEarly marriages and
pregnancies keep girls in their inferior status to men and do not allow them to
escape poverty. This is an unfair situation and a huge lost potential for the
development of communities and countries.Every year, nearly 3 million girls
between the ages of 15 and 19 undergo unsafe abortions." Because of my young
age, my pregnancy was very dangerous. Even though my belly was growing, I
was losing weight. I was so skinny that I looked like a twig with a big belly and
the delivery was very painful. Rabeya, pregnant at 13 in Bangladesh.
SOLUTION TO FIGHT AGAINST EARLY FAT
Globally, one in five women has a child before the age of 18. In the
poorest regions of the world, this figure is more than one in three. Early
teenage pregnancy is more common in poor, less educated and rural
populations. The WHO recommendations for reducing early pregnancy
are based on two GRADE-assessed systematic reviews, three non-
GRADE-assessed studies, and the conclusions of an expert panel. Studies
in the systematic reviews included those from developing countries
(Mexico and Nigeria) and those from poor socioeconomic groups in
developed countries. Overall, these studies show that teen pregnancy
decreases among those who participated in sex education, financial
support, preschool education, and youth development programs as well as
life skills programs. One study showed that repeat pregnancies decreased
following an intervention that offered, among other things, home visits
from social services.
Many teens start having sex before they even know how to avoid
pregnancy
or sexually transmitted infections. The group effect and the desire to
conform to stereotypes increase the likelihood of early and unprotected
sex. In order to prevent early pregnancy, sex education in school curricula
must be widely implemented. These programs should
develop life skills, provide support for understanding and managing
thoughts, feelings and emotions that accompany sexual maturity. These
programs will be linked to
contraceptive counseling and dispensing facilities.
In many countries, girls are under great pressure to have sex, often from
family members. In some countries, more than one-third of girls report
that their first sexual encounter was forced. WHO's recommendations for
reducing forced sex are based on two studies evaluated by the WHO
GRADE system, six reviews of legislation not evaluated by the same
system, and the collective experience and opinion of a panel of experts.
The studies and legislative reviews were conducted in Botswana, India,
Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Overall, these studies
show that actions to influence communities and change gender norms can
have a positive impact in empowering girls to oppose forced sex and in
changing men's and boys' attitudes about sex
forced.
Girls may feel unable to say no to sex they do not want. They must have
the means to
to protect themselves and be able to ask for and get effective help.
Programs to build confidence
in themselves, develop life skills, and strengthen established ties to social
and support networks,
can help girls refuse sex they don't want.
Existing social norms tolerate violence and forced sex in many countries.
regions of the world. Efforts to empower adolescent girls must be
accompanied by efforts to challenge and change norms that condone
forced sex, particularly gender norms.
In some countries, adolescent girls are less likely than adults to access
skilled care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. The
WHO recommendations for increasing the use of skilled care during
pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are based on a WHO
GRADE-assessed study, a non-GRADE-assessed study, current WHO
guidelines, and the collective experience and opinion of an expert panel.
The studies were conducted in Chile and India. The first project consisted
of home visits to adolescent mothers. The second project involved a
program of financial support to mothers on the condition that they used a
health center for delivery. Overall, studies show that efforts to increase the
use of skilled prenatal, obstetric, and postnatal care improve health
outcomes for adolescent mothers and infants.
Emergency obstetric care can save lives. Policymakers must take action to
expand access to these emergency services, especially for pregnant
adolescents.
Pregnant teens need the support they need to be well prepared for birth
and in
Obstetrical emergencies, including having a birth plan. Preparation for
birth and emergency risks
obstetrical care should be an integral part of prenatal care.
CONCLUSION
Teenage pregnancy is an issue of concern in many countries. However, it is
treated in a simplistic and reductionist manner, with a one-sided link made
between teenage pregnancy and young people's lack of knowledge about
contraceptive methods. As demonstrated above, young people have never been
so well informed about contraceptives. They are exposed to a veritable
bombardment of information on a daily basis through all of the communications
media available today. Therefore, in trying to grasp the complexity of this issue,
our focus was on pregnant teens and privileged their discourses on their
condition.As the home highlighted the young mother, the teen's desire to have a
child was able to reveal itself. It was from this point that it was possible to
formulate another hypothesis in an attempt to understand the main mechanisms
at play in this situation, which led us to privilege the study of the bio-
psychosocial aspects Adolescent pregnancy is an issue that concerns many
countries. However, it is treated in a simplistic and reductionist way, with a one-
way link being established between teenage pregnancy and young people's lack
of knowledge about contraceptive methods. The historical perspective has
helped us to situate the issue, showing the influence of culture in the evolution
of the perception of this issue over time. Thus, teenage pregnancy may have
appeared as the result of both a biological imperative - that is, the impulse
toward reproductive capacity (at the level of the species) - and the teenager's
own desire to have a child (at the individual level)...
