Exploring the lived experiences of pregnant and breastfeeding teenage mothers in the conflict and post conflict Acholi sub Region, Uganda
The hardship life experienced prior to the teenage pregnancy was so detrimental and as such greatly contributed to the teenage pregnancy and motherhood. These factors were largely caused by the two decades of the LRA war that weakened the family and societal fabrics. The study recommends promotion of sexuality education, mentorship and skills building for young parents (mothers).
