8 myths about unintended pregnancy debunked

calendar_today05 May 2022

At 14, Dankay Kanu (right, with a mentor from the 2YoungLives NGO, which helps pregnant girls in Sierra Leone continue their education and find employment) got pregnant by an older man who refused to wear a condom then denied paternity. Though she quit school for a time, she has since returned while raising her now-two-year-old son, Ishmael, alone. "To be a mother at this age is not really easy," she said, "but that will enable me to become stronger." @ UNFPA/Michael Duff
