Average of two girls aged 10 to 14 give birth daily in Paraguay, Amnesty finds

Longstanding plague of child abuse and extreme abortion laws fuel crisis, report says

An average of two girls between 10 and 14 give birth every day in Paraguay, thanks to a toxic combination of widespread child abuse and draconian abortion laws, according to a new Amnesty International report.

Paraguay has one of the highest rates of child and teen pregnancy in Latin America, a region that, as a whole, has the second-highest rates in the world.
