Tea Time: Teenage Pregnancy and Motherhood in India

Presenter/s: Sandeep Chachra, Dipali Sharma
 

The ActionAid Teatime presentation focused on teenage pregnancy and motherhood in India, with particular attention to the policy barriers, social conditions, and structural inequalities that continued to affect adolescent girls and young mothers.

The presentation framed adolescent pregnancy as a major public health and human rights concern, especially because it was closely linked to child marriage, poverty, gender inequality, limited access to education, poor healthcare access, and restrictive social norms around marriage and motherhood.
