HONTIVEROS HEARS TEENAGE PREGNANCY BILL: Akbayan Senator Risa Hontiveros, chair of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality, presides over a hearing, Tuesday, August 22, 2017, looking into the development of a national program of action and investment plan for the prevention of teenage pregnancy in the country. "Every Filipina deserves the opportunity to live a full life with the widest set of choices possible for her self-fulfilment. Teenage pregnancy robs Filipina women of the ability to choose by limiting their social and educational options at such a young age. We need to take organized, sustained and collective action to ensure they have the best available opportunities at securing their future," Hontiveros said. (PRIB Photo by Romeo Bugante) |
