Abstract

Comprehensive sexuality education, including for out-of-school youth, is urgently needed to reverse the trend of unintended pregnancies among girls, violence against women, and an apparent increase in marriage before 18. The adolescent birth rate has sharply increased from 31 per 1000 women aged 15–19 years in 2000 to 53 in 2012. The under-15 pregnancy rate has increased threefold, from 0.5 per 1000 in 2000 to 1.8 in 2012.
