WHO concerned over teenage pregnancies
The New Indian Express
|July 12, 2024
ALMOST 6 million teenage girls, aged 15 to 19, give birth annually in the South East Asia Region, including India, said the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Thursday.
The WHO said adolescent pregnancy is closely linked to child marriage: a common harmful practice in the region, driven by underlying social, cultural, and gender norms.
Saima Wazed, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia, said, "Child marriage is a violation of girls' fundamental human rights. It curtails their ability to make choices and to enjoy high standards of physical and mental health. It impedes their education and often hampers them from owning property."
