The girl effect: The clock is ticking

Early teenage pregnancy is a problem in our country that needs attention. In my practice, I have met a 12 year old girl pregnant with her second baby. How can a child take care of another child? Imagine yourself, what were you doing when you were 12?

One of the things that greatly affects our society is the rising number of unwanted early pregnancy. Young women as early as age 8 are being  readied for arranged marriages. This is a tall matter as culture plays a big factor here. However, health promotion and educating the community can help them understand the health implications of such practices. We need to do something as a body of Christ. The clock is ticking.
