00:00One of the main reasons of the POPCOM is the lack of knowledge about sex education.
00:10Actually, the phenomenon of Adolescent Pregnancy Disabilities is really a very complex phenomenon
00:18and it's a result of the confluence of various factors from individual to societal level.
00:26I think explicit data that we have seen is when we look into the age of the fathers of the light birds
00:354 to 10 to 14 and 10 to 15.
00:39We have seen that the fathers of these children and light birds are much older than the age of the mother.
00:49It means that the age of the fathers of children born to 10 to 14 and adults is higher than 20.
01:00We can see the exposure from information, particularly from sexual explicit content from various sources, especially from online.
01:10But of course, there are still factors of unguided decision-making processes of information to the youth.
01:20Aside from this, they also have another reason.
01:24Livid arrangement is also increasing, actually based on our population census.
01:32And the pattern we see is usually those who have been tested by adolescent mothers.
01:40Eventually, they live in their partners.
01:46Like Kimmy, Yanian will not stop to fulfill her dream even though she already has a big responsibility.
01:56I will study and I will help my mother in raising the baby.
02:03It is important to love the family and determination of the minors themselves.
02:08But they also need the guidance of the society.
02:12Government programs that will support them are already included in the plans for proper education for the youth.
02:21In her ultrasound, Yanian found out about her pregnancy.
02:27Okay, so the gender of the baby is female.
02:31Can you see this? So, baby girl.
02:36I am happy because my baby is a girl.
02:41In Yanian's near future, we prayed that she will be able to raise her child safely.
02:50We pray that Yanian will be able to raise her child safely.
