She said the covid-19 pandemic has become a risk factor to premarital sex and teenage pregnancies thus adding to girls not to go to school.

Dspite the many laws and policies in place, Uganda continues experiencing significant sexual and reproductive health challenges such as high cases of teenage pregnancy and early marriages in schools.

Many ugandans have blamed the rise in numbers on poor implementation of the laws and policies

In Uganda,10 per cent of girls are married before 15 years while 40 per cent are married by the age of 18.

According t the UNICEF statistics (205/25l), Uganda is ranked 18th worldwide in regard to child marriage.
