A Bulgarian pharmaceutical company and the Ministries of Education and Health will start an educational campaign on “Modern contraception”.
The campaign will begin in June and will aim at increasing the sexual culture of Bulgarian teenagers.
Around 240 secondary schools from 13 Bulgarian cities and towns will participate in the program.
The students will be introduced to the different types of contraception and opportunities for preventing unwanted pregnancy. They will also get familiar with the consequences of abortion at an early age.
Specialists will explain to the youngsters that the interruption of pregnancy could cause different infections, leading in many cases to inability to get pregnant or to spontaneous abortions. The teenagers will also be warned that in more severe cases, it could lead to removal of the uterus and inability to give birth.
After the end of the campaign, the organizers will make a summary of the information the kids have received and will announce if such initiatives are useful and needed for the Bulgarian teenagers.
According to statistics, Bulgaria ranks in one of the first places in Eastern Europe for number of abortions of girls age 15-19.
