Unreported World: Season 2022, Episode 12

2022 - 12: Teen Mums: Pregnant and Trapped

A report from Guatemala, where the cries of young girls go unheard, and a silent crisis of abuse and child pregnancies is robbing a generation of their youth. Anja Popp discovers that girls in rural districts are particularly vulnerable, with no phone signal and no neighbours. She follows one dedicated case worker trying to reverse deep-rooted attitudes towards women in a country still reeling from the legacy of a brutal civil war.
