cannot deny that children have started having sex from an early age compared to previous generations. These processes cannot be fully controlled by parents or by the state authorities in terms of prevention, so the Children's Ombudsman encourages an active intervention of public authorities in terms of information and prevention, which will have an impact on reducing the number of pregnancies in girls. At the same time, another problematic circumstance is that the national authorities fail to provide protection adapted to the special needs of young mothers, who in essence are in fact nothing more than victims of their own situation. Thus, the lack of support from the State and in most cases the interruption of family relationships due to stereotypes and ingrained medieval traditions, make children left alone in front of the problem, and the result is often terrifying. So, only in 2019, 2 out of 5 minor mothers hid the fact that they are pregnant from relatives and the authorities and tried to get rid of their own children by throwing them in the dumpsters or abandoning them in the street138. The People's Advocate for Children's Rights mentions that adolescents face barriers in access to contraception, including by the lack of education and quality protection policies, barriers to access are related to age or marital status, prejudices of health care workers and / or lack of society's willingness to recognize the sexual health needs of adolescents and their limited access to contraceptives due to lack of knowledge and financial constraints. The Children's Ombudsman notes that, according to World Health Organization statistics, “pregnancy among children remains a major contributor to maternal and infant mortality and intergenerational cycles of poor health and poverty. Pregnancy and birth complications are the leading cause of death among girls aged 15 to 19 globally. Adolescent mothers (aged 10 to 19 years) have a higher risk of eclampsia, puerperal endometritis and systemic infections than women aged 20 to 24 years. In addition, approximately 3.9 million unsafe abortions among girls aged 15 to 19 years occur each year, contributing to maternal mortality and long-term health problems. Moreover, the emotional, psychological and social needs of pregnant teenage girls may be greater than those of other women.”139. 138 https://point.md/ru/novosti/proisshestviya/marturiile-mamei-care-shi-a-aruncat-copilul-nou-nascut-latomberon58-am-crezut-ca-i-mort 139 https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/adolescent-pregnancy 76
