Saying Yes to Whose Pleasures?

A Feminist Study on the Acceptability of Pregnancies for Young Women

“What are the experiences and views of teenagers on sexuality, pregnancy, fertility, and pleasure? How do gender norms around femininity and motherhood shape or limit teens’ sexual and reproductive health concerns and their social relationships within their communities?” (Oxfam Pilipinas, 2022)

You can now access the study entitled Saying Yes to Whose Pleasures? A Feminist Study on the Acceptability of Pregnancies for Young Women by principal researcher Sabrina Laya Gacad of the University of the Philippines Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (UPCWGS) here.
