IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, WHAT ACTIONS WOULD YOU DEMAND OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL AND WHY? 
Alejandra Lossada
Venezuela: Pros and Cons 
Has the world’s largest known oil reserves. 
It is the fifth oil exporting country. 
A series of mismanagements has led to an uncertain situation: 
 Corruption 
 Sustaining a populist regimen
Consequences 
Poverty 
Hunger 
Insecurity 
Shortage
High Rates of Teenage Pregnancy 
Due to the consequences listed before: 
Venezuela is the country with the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in South America. 
Politics developed to handle the situation have nonetheless made it worse. 
Government established a social campaign called “The great mission for sons/daughters of Venezuela”, which provides an economic aid for teenage mothers. 
To a society of a poor level of education the equation goes like this: more babies = more money.
Consequences on Teen Mothers 
Statistics point out that teenage moms are less likely than other women to attend or complete college. 
Single moms have the highest poverty rates. 
Consequences on the baby include risk of school failure, poverty, mental and physical health problems.
Solutions 
Key to restructure a country is through education. 
A realistic first step in my demand to the Secretary General of the United Nations is to create a campaign that aims to decreases teenage pregnancy and promotes the legalization of abortion. By educating our society about reproduction and contraceptive methods.
Solutions 
Educate about the real consequences of banning abortion.
Step by Step 
Make sure the government has a special department that provides for health and education services. 
Involve parents, teenage mothers -that can share their experience- and young adults. 
Create campaigns targeting high risk groups, mainly in Venezuelan slums known as “barrios”. 
Encourage a non-judgmental approach to this situation through Media.
Expected Results 
Create knowledge in our society so people would become -in time- more open minded about sexual education, family planning and abortion. 
Significantly reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. 
Eradicate thousands of teenage death from illegal abortions practices.
