I'm so glad Amanda & Ana Clara came to Rewire with this story. As in the US, teen pregnancy is WAY down in Brazil. And just as in the US, conservatives aren't celebrating. Why? Because this change happened with the rollout of universal, free birth control--incl for postpartum girls as young as 10.
Brazil's free birth control program led to a sharp drop in teen pregnancy rates, but a right-wing backlash now threatens this public health success.
