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

Seeing the Unseen: The case for action in the neglected crisis of unintended pregnancy

An estimated 121 million pregnancies per year take place in the bodies of women who did not choose pregnancy or motherhood, who were not planning to have a child at that time, with that partner, in those circumstances. Nothing is more fundamental to bodily autonomy than the ability to decide whether or not to become pregnant. Yet for too many, the most life-altering reproductive choice is no choice at all.
