PROJECT TITLE: TEENAGE PREGNANCY
SOCIAL INEQUALITY PROBLEM:
EXTREME
POVERTY,UNABLE TO FINISH SCHOOL
RATIONALE:
Teen pregnancy is a health issue that has an

effect on all of us. A child having a baby as a teenager is
more likely to face critical social issues like poverty, poor
education, risky behaviors that lead to poor health issues,
and child welfare. Teenage pregnancy affects 5.99
percent of Filipino girls which is the second highest rate
in Southeast Asia based on Save the Children’s Global
Childhood Report (2019). An estimated 538 babies are
born to Filipino teenage mothers every single day,
according to Philippine Statistical Authority. Teenage
pregnancy is pregnancy in a woman 19 years of age or
younger. A woman can get pregnant if she has vaginal
sex with a man at any age after she's begun having
regular monthly periods. Adolescent pregnancies are a
global problem but occur most often in poorer and
marginalised communities. Many girls face considerable
pressure to marry early and become mothers while they
are still a child.
OBJECTIVES:
Initially to prevent unwanted pregnancy;

now, to promote health education. Target Group: 15-20,
both sexes and now younger age groups and parents.
Activities: Through group dynamics work and role play,
students learn to enhance their self-esteem, make
decisions, communicate effectively and be assertive. The
study was the capricorn district which is central to the
entire districts and it has urban, semi-urban and rural e
the extensive attention given to adolescent sexuality and
teenage pregnancy in the past 30 years, many teenagers
were still nt (van eijk 2007). Teenage pregnancy has
become a national epidemic, partly because more and more
teenagers who give birth decide to raise their children. That
teenage pregnancy is more common amongst young people who
have been disadvantaged and have poor expectations of either
ion or the job market. Premature sexual intercourse results in
high rates of sexually transmitted diseases, hiv transmission,
adolescent pregnancy ons (mkhwanazi 2006). Unprotected
sexual intercourse can lead to an unwanted adolescent
pregnancy which is often considered a serious social and public
health ers have a high risk of unintended pregnancy (mestad et
al. Richter and mlambo (2005) said teenage pregnancy appears
to aged by lack of access to sex education. Some parents are
reluctant to make sex education and contraceptives available to
their teenagers,As they are afraid that their teenagers might
interpret this as permission to engage in sexual activities.
PROPOSE SOLUTION:
The solution to teen pregnancy is a

multifaceted approach that involves the family, school,
church and friends. We must change the mindset that
Teens think having a baby is Cool. The basic solution is
education and application. The parent or parents must
play an active role helping teens form a personal image
of who they want to be. Not just for now, but for the rest
of their lives. Both young men and women need to
understand the long term ramifications of how pregnancy
effects your life and most importantly the life of a new
born baby. As a teen you are not ready to assume the role
of parenthood. This means you young men too. You
cannot walk away from getting a young teen pregnant.
Raising a child is parenting from both sides.
ACTION PLAN:
We are committed to tackling

adolescent pregnancy, especially among younger
adolescents (aged 10-14) who are most at risk and yet
often overlooked. We also support girls who have already
become mothers.
By raising girls’ awareness of their sexual and
reproductive health and rights, protecting them from
abuse and connecting them with education and health
services, we support the key decisions they make about
their futures and bodies.
We call on governments to strengthen national health
systems, implement comprehensive education on
sexuality and relationships in and out of schools, and
provide affordable, safe contraception to tackle the root
causes of adolescent pregnancy. We also demand
governments do more to support pregnant girls and young
mothers to continue and complete their education.
