Arresting The Canker of Teenage Pregnancy in Africa: Retrospection of The Roles of The Chieftaincy

Young pregnancy has been on the soared increment in contemporary Africa. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) revealed as of late that Africa has the most elevated world rate of young pregnancies with a level of 51%. The ulcer is alarming to the point that the greater part of young ladies of ages going from thirteen to sixteen years has quit of instruction to constrained work. This is because of the sudden parental jobs that these weak young ladies accept that interest that they work to cook for their wards. This puts their instructive objectives, wellbeing, and whole future desire in risk and in awesome danger. These young ladies and their kids turn into an awesome weight for governments in creating nations who must start approaches to give some sort of help to them in the warmth of the rare assets available to them. In any case, before the pilgrim time, this grieved state of high school pregnancy was not on the ascent because of the firm positions and jobs of the chieftaincy establishments in Africa.

The chieftaincy organizations in times past were extremely proactive in releasing their obligations, particularly in guaranteeing that young ladies are ensured till they are sufficiently developed with a profession before they wed and reproduce. Different social orders in Africa had strict social practices that filled in as checks in managing the ethical conduct of young ladies to take part in social indecencies like high school pregnancy. One of such social practices is commencement rituals for young ladies. The customs were initiated by individuals from the conventional chamber, the boss, his bureau of senior citizens, the ruler mother and other elderly ladies. It was trusted that taking part in pre-marriage sex was an extraordinary sin that would bring about the anger of the precursors and spirits. The guilty parties were rebuffed, hooted at, punished or potentially scattered from their social orders. Then again, young ladies who figured out how to keep their virginity before their wedding functions were liberally compensated with garments, grease, awesome extravagances like gems et cetera. This filled in as trap for exhibiting great ethics and abstaining from any idea of high school pregnancy. The meticulousness of societal laws, standards, and qualities that disapprove of high school pregnancy maintained by the chieftaincy foundations in times past, truly helped in capturing the ulcer of young pregnancy.

Today, a few social orders in Africa exceedingly impacted by western way of life and training feel that these social practices are boorish and superstitious, seeing them with incredible scorn. This hated state of mind, combined with the debilitated powers and impact of the chieftaincy establishments in Africa has brought about the extraordinary feeble good practices, giving ascent for the unbridled association of young ladies in high school pregnancy. However, it must be conceded that these conventional practices built up by the chieftaincy foundations were are still particularly supportive in accomplishing great societal living. Consequently, contemporary governments in Africa must redo the forces of the chieftaincy organizations giving them the order to declare and rejuvenate these basic good statutes and their unified endorses in contemporary Africa. In any case, extremely cruel disciplines that test human rights can be amended or lessened to money related fines.

Today, some conventional pioneers in some nearby networks in Ghana are utilizing the power that they employ in their social orders to return to these customary good qualities, standards and practices that abridged young pregnancy before and have enlisted triumphs however with couple of difficulties. This unmistakably shows the achievability of coming back to the customary social practices to capture the blister of young pregnancy in Africa. In the event that the cutting edge council gives the chieftaincy foundations, the main establishment that holds the rich social legacy of our progenitors, their previous forces, they will have the capacity to assist contemporary Africa with mitigating the regularly taking off rates of high school pregnancy. This would make these young ladies more profitable in aiding the advancement of the financial capitals of creating nations, adding their nibble to liberating the African landmass of its profound misfortunes in the economy, wellbeing, and instruction the steady weight on governments!
