Unwanted Baby Boom: The Philippines

1 x 48
Broadcaster:  CNA

In the Philippines, birth control access has been limited during the pandemic, resulting in an explosion of unwanted pregnancies.

 

Many of these unwilling mothers are teenagers, some just 15. Most women who are too poor to raise another child, unwed, or too young to bear any children seek whatever help they can find.

 

We uncover the world of backstreet abortionists and illegal abortion medicine traders capitalising on this crisis.
