Initiation of sexual behaviour and early childbearing
Socio-economic circumstances seem to play a major role in the rates of teen pregnancy. Poor access to contraception and inconsistent or non-use of family planning services, a situation that prevails mostly among people of low socio-economic status, has been noted as major contributing factors to high rates of teenage pregnancy. Although family planning services are provided for free in South Africa, poverty, cultural believes and negative judgment by health care workers remain barriers to access. As a result giving birth at a young age becomes prevalent and often continues the cycle of poverty and in most cases women bear the brunt of the responsibility.- Creator

This paper demonstrates, through content analysis from Trinidad and Tobago, how online audiences can enforce gender based violence (GBV) as a real threat in the online space through verbally aggressive speech acts (like victim blaming and policing, especially of women’s bodies) that function as symbolic violence.- Creator
