BABA NMS 1.2 | What leads underage girls to be sexually active?

Background

For eight years, Uganda hasn't been able to bring down the number of young girls getting pregnant. 250 girls under 15 years old became pregnant every month. Over 1000 girls under the age of 19 get pregnant every day. Many underaged girls willingly choose to engage in sexual behavior but underestimate the risk or consequences of getting pregnant. To reduce teenage pregnancies we need to find out what drives underage girls into sexual behavior. We would like to ask you:
