EASTERN NMS 1.3 | Why is it so easy for teenage fathers to run off without properly taking care of the baby or the mother?

Background

Welcome to our program, No More Silence, by TRAC FM! Answer important questions for FREE, through your mobile phone! Today, we are discussing teenage pregnancy. When a teenage girl gets pregnant, we often see the boy running off. The girl and her parents will now have to take care of the baby. 

When comparing with other parts of Uganda, it’s more common in Uganda for boys to run off. We want to know, why is it so easy for boys in Uganda to avoid their responsibility and run off without taking care of the baby or the mother?
