Taking Baby Steps to Lessen Teenage Pregnancy
The Issue
Teen pregnancy, is a crisis that concerns the baby, parents, other members of the family, as well as resources of the community. It has been a major problem of the Philippines for the past years. The cases of teenage pregnancy in our country from 2011 up to 2019 has been doubled. Every year, approximately 750,000 women aged 15 to 19 become pregnant every year. Teen pregnancies carry additional risk equally to the health of the infant and the mother. And for us to make a change we must get the whole society involve. That's why in this petition, we are taking small step against this problem. But this bay step could make a big change in our country.
