About two million girls
around the world give birth every year before they turn 15. Apart from the
health risk this can also lead to them dropping out of school and affects their
future lives, health wise and carrier opportunities.
Photographer
and filmmaker Pieter ten Hoopen met some teenage mothers ahead of the Women
Deliver conference in Copenhagen on the health, rights and well-being of girls
and women.
These
are the stories they told about what they have experienced and how they feel
becoming a
Mother
at a young age
