COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS AMONG THE YOUNGTH ABOUT THE HAMRFUL EFFECTS OF ABORTION

Abstract

A data compilation by Guttmacher Institute (2022) about the number of unintended pregnancies induced abortions in Vietnam over the period from 1990 to 2019 shows that: The rate of unintended pregnancy decreased significantly from 113,000 to 86,000 cases. This is explained by 10 socio-economic development, education and public health improvement. However, abortion rates still rise; specifically 72,000/113000 (63.7% in the period 1990-1994) and 64,000/86,000 (74.4% in the period 2015-2019). This shows that the tendency to normalize abortion is becoming more and more popular in Vietnamese society.
