Family Planning For Adolescent
Family Planning for Adolescent Girls
FAROF primary focus is to ensure that adolescent girls have access to safe family planning technique. Yet adolescent girls (15-19) years have little or no access to this services. This is due to lack of information on their SRHR and how to access family planning, fear of being judge by health service providers, cultural and religious norms. Lack of access to family planning results in some 76 million unintended pregnancies each year. Adolescents age 15-19 are twice as likely to die during pregnancy or child birth as those over age 20.
