Curious Minds organised a three-day capacity-building workshop in the Asene Manso Akroso district of the Eastern region of Ghana. The workshop supported by RFSU equipped twenty-three (23) young people from Akim Manso and Akim Asuboa with skills and knowledge needed to address the prevalent issue of teenage pregnancy in their communities.
Given the alarming rate of teenage pregnancy in the region, the training focused on providing comprehensive education about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to the participants. Representatives from the Ghana Health Service facilitated discussions on menstrual hygiene, personal hygiene, abstinence, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Insightfully, participants highlighted the various factors contributing to teenage pregnancy, including peer pressure, low socioeconomic conditions, and influence from older individuals.
