Uganda: tackling early pregnancy
In Uganda a very high percentage of the population is between the ages of 10 and 19, which means that there is often insufficient protection and care for the country’s youth. The worst affected are girls and young women, many of whom are forced to drop out of school due to early pregnancy – a still-widespread phenomenon which has a dire impact on their lives.
