A Girl Under 18 Becomes Pregnant Every Three Minutes In Venezuela.
Twenty-Three Per Cent Of All Births Come In This Age Category, Too.
Two Charities Think That This Is a Problem. They Do Not Say That Maternity Is Bad. They Say That Teenage Girls Already Have a Lot Of Problems. The Girls Look For An Identity And They Go Through a series of
changes. Being pregnant is a complication for them.
The charities set up an unusual display in a shop window. The mannequins
look like 15-year-old pregnant school girls. The charities want people
to think and talk about this problem.
Difficult words: maternity (being a mother), pregnant (with a baby
inside the body), mannequin (a model used to display clothes in a shop
window).
This display showing mannequins of pregnant schoolgirls at a Caracas
mall is shocking shoppers and stirring debate over sex education in
Venezuela.
Two local charities have dressed up three mannequins behind a shop
window, showing the girls with bulging stomachs under their blue
uniforms, used by schoolchildren there until the age of 15.
The idea is apparently to draw attention to an adolescent pregnancy rate
they say is one of the worst in South America, with one girl under 18
becoming pregnant every three minutes and 23 per cent of all births
coming in at that age category.
“We are not saying maternity is bad. This is not what we are saying. We
are trying to say there is a time for everything and this is not the
moment.
This is a time when girls are beginning their life as teenagers, when
they are looking for an identity and are going through a series of
changes, which are complicated enough at this stage without adding a
pregnancy to the equation.”
The display will run for a month and may be extended to other malls around the nation of 30 million people.
Difficult words: mannequin (a model used to display clothes in a shop
window), stir (start), bulging (round and big), rate (quantity or
frequency), maternity (being a mother), identity (who you are), equation
(a situation in which there are several factors), extend (make bigger).
