Teenage pregnancy is not only a health problem, but also a development problem. They are deeply rooted in many causes such as poverty, gender inequality, violence of all kinds, forced child marriages, power imbalances between girls and their partners, lack of education, and failure of systems or institutions that should protect their rights. When an adolescent girl becomes pregnant, her present life and future change radically, and rarely for the better: she may be forced to drop out of school; her employment prospects vanish; and her vulnerability to poverty, exclusion and dependency increases. (UNFPA, 2013).
