Description
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 22 million girls aged 15-19 years become pregnant yearly in developing countries. Asides from the health consequences of unwanted teenage pregnancy, there are social and economic adverse effects. A prominent one is the fact that teenage girls who get pregnant are less likely to complete their education. Welcome to another episode of the Indi-Genius Podcast series. Today, our Champion, Aderonke, highlights the unmet family planning needs of adolescent girls in her community, her advocacy journey, and the necessary steps that need to be taken for successful family planning and reproductive health programming for adolescents. She speaks in her native language of Yoruba, one of the primary languages spoken in Nigeria. Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), 22 millions de jeunes filles âgées de 15 à 19 ans tombent enceintes chaque année dans les pays en développement. Outre les conséquences sanitaires des grossesses non désirées chez les adolescentes, il existe des effets négatifs sociaux et économiques. L'un des plus importants est le fait que les adolescentes qui tombent enceintes ont moins de chances de terminer leurs études. Bienvenue dans un nouvel épisode de la série Indi-Genius Podcast. Aujourd'hui, notre championne, Aderonke, met en lumière les besoins non satisfaits des adolescentes en matière de planning familial dans sa communauté, son parcours de plaidoyer et les étapes nécessaires à la réussite des programmes de planning familial et de santé reproductive pour les adolescents. Elle s'exprime dans sa langue maternelle, le Yoruba - l'une des principales langues parlées au Nigeria.
