Romania is home to the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe. Fifteen percent of children in Romania are born to teenage mothers, many of whom are forced to drop out of school. Campaigners are calling on the government to introduce sex education in schools, saying it would not just reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, but also protect the girls against sexually transmitted diseases.
