Moderator Question 1

Teenage pregnancy can contribute to maternal and child mortality. Causes include lack of sexual health education, family and social pressures to marry early, sexual violence, child marriage, lack of education, and imbalance of power in early marriages where contraception is not accessible. Approximately 90% of births to 15-19 year olds in developing countries occur within child marriages. Pregnancy during adolescence also risks complications due to immature bodies.
