Ever since the lockdown, there has been an increase in potentially deadly unintended pregnancies, child marriages, childbirths, unsafe abortions, sexual abuse, and severely restricted access to vital sexual and reproductive health information and services worldwide.
School closures and lockdown measures led to a shadow pandemic of gender-based violence, increase rates in child marriage, teenage pregnancy, and female genital mutilation, leaving an estimated 1.54 billion young people out of school, even fewer young people are now receiving vital Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
There has been an increase in death rates due to complications from unsafe abortions, pregnancy, and childbirth which is the leading cause of death for girls aged 15-19.
Date: October 29th 2020.
