Early pregnancy in South Africa is a crisis.

In South Africa, between April 2017 and September 2021, the number of births to young and adolescent girls between 10 and 14 years of age increased by 48.7%.

Call on President Cyril Ramaphosa to ensure government work together to address the high levels of early pregnancy in South Africa.  It is a social, health and economic issue affecting our most precious resource: our children.
