He said. > It is reality of early unintended pregnancies, a reality where adolescents’ fertility remains high amongst girls aged between 15 and 19 in Zimbabwe. > And this is at 21 per cent; that means one out of five girls is falling pregnant in that age group. According to UNESCO’s findings, rural girls were more prone to have early unintended pregnancies than their urban peers. Moreover, the pregnancy rate was found to be high among girls who only completed primary education (37 per cent), while for those who completed secondary education it was at 17 per cent. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
