Human Rights Defenders in Ivory Coast protest against Teen Pregnancy

September 10, 2014

Former participants of Equitas’ Regional Human Rights Training Session rallied in Gonzacqueville, Ivory Coast, to raise awareness of teen pregnancy which leads girls to cut their education short. The protest was held last Saturday, 30 August 30 and brought together people from all walks of life in the community. “We wanted to raise awareness of this growing phenomenon,” said the spokesperson of the campaign, Koné Tenin. Fourteen cases of teenage pregnancies have been reported recently at the Gonzacqueville Lycée.
