Adolescent Pregnancy
Adolescent Pregnancy
Teenage pregnancy, also known as adolescent pregnancy, is pregnancy in a female under the age of 20.
Worldwide, pregnancy complications are the leading cause of death for women and girls 15 to 19 years old.
The definition of teenage pregnancy includes those who are legally considered adults in their country.
The World Health Organization defines adolescence as the period between the ages of 10 and 19 years.
Pregnancy can occur with sexual intercourse after the start of ovulation, which can happen before the first menstrual period (menarche). In healthy, well-nourished girls, the first period usually takes place between the ages of 12 and 13.
Pregnant teenagers face many of the same pregnancy-related issues as older women.
Teenagers are more likely to experience pregnancy complications or maternal deaththan women aged 20 or older.
There are additional concerns for those under the age of 15 as they are less likely to be physically developed to sustain a healthy pregnancy or to give birth.
For girls aged 15–19, risks are associated more with socioeconomicfactors than with the biological effects of age.
Risks of low birth weight, premature labor, anemia, and pre-eclampsia are not connected to biological age by the time a girl is 16, as they are not observed in births to older teens after controlling for other risk factors, such as access to high-quality prenatal care.
Teenage pregnancies are related to social issues, including lower educational levels and poverty.
Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage and is often associated with a social stigma.
Teenage pregnancy in developing countries often occurs within marriage and approximately half are planned.
However, in these societies, early pregnancy may combine with malnutrition and poor health care to cause medical problems.
When used in combination, educational interventions and access to birth control can reduce unintended teenage pregnancies.
In 2023, globally, about 41 females per 1,000 gave birth between the ages of 15 and 19, compared with roughly 65 births per 1,000 in 2000.
From 2015 to 2021, an estimated 14 percent of adolescent girls and young women globally reported giving birth before age 18.
The adolescent birth rate is higher in lower- and middle-income countries (LMIC), compared to higher- income countries. In the developing world, approximately 2.5 million females aged 15 to 19 years old have children each year.
Another 3.9 million have abortions. It is more common in rural than urban areas.
In 2021, 13.3 million babies, or about 10 percent of the total worldwide, were born to mothers under 20 years old.

The Holocaust and Adolf Hitler
The Holocaust and Adolf Hitler
The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland. Separate Nazi persecutions killed a similar or larger number of non-Jewish civilians and prisoners of war (POWs); the term Holocaust is sometimes used to refer to the persecution of these other groups.

Perpetrators
Nazi Germanyalong with its collaboratorsand allies
The Nazis developed their ideology based on racism and pursuit of “living space”, and seized powerin early 1933. Meant to force all German Jewsregardless of means to attempt to emigrate, the regime passed anti-Jewish laws, encouraged harassment, and orchestrated a nationwide pogrom in November 1938. After Germany
invaded Poland in September 1939, occupation authorities began to establish ghettos to segregate Jews. Following the June 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, 1.5 to 2 million Jews were shot by German forces and local collaborators.
Later in 1941 or early 1942, the highest levels of the German government decided to murder all Jews in Europe. Victims were deported by rail to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, most were killed with poison gas. Other Jews continued to be employed in forced labor camps where many died from starvation, abuse, exhaustion, or being used as test subjects in deadly medical experiments. Although many Jews tried to escape, surviving in hiding was difficult due to factors such as the lack of money to pay helpers and the risk of denunciation. The property, homes, and jobs belonging to murdered Jews were redistributed to the German occupiers and other non-Jews. Although the majority of Holocaust victims died in 1942, the killing continued at a lower rate until the end of the warin May 1945.
Many Jewish survivorsemigrated outside of Europe after the war. A few Holocaust perpetrators faced criminal trials. Billions of dollars in reparations have been paid, although falling short of the Jews’ losses. The Holocaust has also been commemorated in museums, memorials, and culture. It has become central to Western historical consciousness as a symbol of the ultimate human evil.

Zero Tolerance
Zero Tolerance
BIG STORY
SALAM NEWS
Trump separated thousands of immigrant children from their parents. Can Biden fix it?
Piercing crying, fear and no possibility to say goodbye. Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy orphaned thousands of children. Now Biden administration is trying to correct his mistakes. He has allowed the arrival of the first group of immigrants separated from their children
During his first days as a president, Joe Biden wanted to show that he intends to withdraw the USA from controversial and catastrophic decisions of the Trump administration. Right after his inauguration he lifted a travel ban on people from Muslim countries (the so called Muslim Ban). He also ordered to promptly reunite immigrant parents with their children, who were separated upon Donald Trump’s order during arrests and deportations. This was a part of his fearsome immigration policy.
As announced by the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, the US authorities will allow for the arrival of the first group of immigrants, who have been separated from their children at the border. Four out of more than thousand separated families will be reunited. Parents have been granted a humanitarian parole to the US. Among them, there are mothers from Mexico and Honduras, who were deported in 2017 without their children.
“The first families reuniting this week are mothers. They are sons. And they are daughters. They are children who were 3 years old at the time of separation. Also they are teenagers who have had to live without their parents during their most formative years” – said the Secretary, quoted by CBS TV.
They escaped, so that their daughters wouldn’t fall victim to crime
Donald Trump never concealed his plans for the immigrants. He structured his election campaign around the idea of building a US- Mexico border wall. Yet despite sealing the borders, numerous deportations and arrests, US actions did not discourage the inhabitants of Latin America and Mexico from trying to get into the US in search of a better life.
So then Trump decided to implement the solution that no one has dared to introduce before. He attacked the mothers by taking away their children. Trump attacked women who were running away from Mexico, Honduras or Guatemala, running away from domestic abuse, rape, gang recruitment and even human trafficking. He attacked mothers who had decided the escape so that their daughters wouldn’t be forced to prostitution when they grow up.
During his campaign, Donald Trump only mentioned that he would stop illegal immigration to the United States. He said that he would tighten immigration rules. He did not tell his voters, however, how he would achieve this. Nor that he intended to separate children, including babies, from their parents or guardians, who were trying to cross the border illegally. Adults, after being indicted, were kept at federal prisons and later deported back to their countries of origin, but now without their children.
United States Attorney General: “We have to take the children”
The decision to separate families was officially in force on the US-Mexico border from April to June 2018. According to the official government data, the number of children separated from their parents was over 4 thousand. But the real number can be much higher. Taking away children from their parents at the border, including parents that were seeking asylum, was the official US policy.
Throughout 2017, from the beginning of Donald Trump’s presidency, head officials of the United States Department of Justice and of the Department of Homeland Security were exchanging emails suggesting the extension of family separation policy. The then United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions, during one of the meetings, told his co-workers that “we have to take their children”. Also Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior advisor and one of the people making immigration decisions in his administration, said that not following the family separation policy would mean “the end of our country as we know it”.
Without saying goodbye
What was happening to the children taken away from the parents who were trying to illegally cross the border? They were being sent to temporary detention centers for children, among others in Texas. And if there was place, then they were sent to orphanages. Conditions in these centers for immigrant children were catastrophic. Children were sleeping on the ground, in cages made of wire net, under foil blankets. They spent most of their time inside the centre. Hygiene and food standards also left a lot to be desired. The youngest children did not have any toys and they had to take care of one another.
Children were taken away from their parents or guardians by force or by deception. They did not know what happened to their loved ones. Parents did not even have the chance to say goodbye to their children. To tell them, maybe for the last time, that they love them. To promise them that they will come back. They could not. They were aware that they were perhaps seeing them for the very last time.
Populism won
Under the pressure of the public opinion and after many protests, the Trump administration withdrew from the official policy of separating families of illegal immigrants. The protesters compared the actions of the then president to what was happening during the era of slavery or World War Two.
Probably neither the Trump administration nor the United States of America will ever bear responsibility for causing suffering to so many families. How did this happen that a nation considered by the international community to be the symbol of democracy and the insurer of human rights committed such a shameful atrocity?
Trump made some populist promises to get into power and he succeeded. His orders, with catastrophic consequences, were executed with the consent of many voters. Those voters also saw immigrants as a threat to their powerful America.
For hundreds of children it is already too late
Orphaning thousands of children just to scare away the immigrants, so that they would not try to cross the US border in search of a better life is one of the darkest pages in the US history. Lawyers are still fighting to find parents of at least a couple hundred of separated children. Is there hope that the children who were taken away will ever return to their biological parents?
The people in power did everything so that it never happens. First of all, no sufficient documentation on the families, which would allow for parents-children reunion, was written.
Many children have been separated for the last couple of years. Both they and their parents have to face traumas, which will stay with them for the rest of their lives. And what about children whose families will not be found? Most frequently they will end up in orphanages or in foster families. Within “DACA” program, immigrants who came to the US as minors can be granted temporary, conditional stay and are eligible for a work permit. It also allows them to obtain a driver’s license or apply for a social security number
Will the “new Americans” ever discover the truth about themselves?
Older children will remember where they come from. But the younger, and the babies, may have difficulties with their own identity. Will the officials or foster parents ever tell them the truth about how they came to the United States? Will the children from Mexico, Honduras or Guatemala, once they grow up, find out that their lives look the way they do because they fell victim to a brutal anti-immigration policy? Or maybe the new authorities will turn them into the “new Americans”, who do not know their origins?
