Teen Pregnancy in Uganda

A fifteen-year old pregnant girl holds cooking knives used for her rotating shift cooking meals at the shelter. She was raped while retrieving water where she stayed with relatives in Kampala, and became pregnant as the result. She had fled her village in a war-affected area of Uganda and thought she would be safer in the city.
