Gabriela’s first day at school

Background

Teen pregnancy was not as common a problem in Belgium as in countries like Cambodia or Ecuador, where there was poverty, discrimination and a lack of sex education.

When girls in these places become pregnant, they have to quit school. Without a decent education, their chances of a good job and a promising future are very slim.
Plan Belgium wanted to raise awareness of the problem with a film that was part of the international 'Raise your hand'-campaign.
