The Philippines has the fastest-growing HIV rate in the Asia-Pacific region; and teen pregnancies have soared by 65 percent since 2000. Now, a government restraining order is restricting access to birth control, as teenage girls increasingly turn to relationships with older men for financial security.

Join us for a Facebook Live conversation about teen pregnancy in the Philippines, moderated by Women & Girls reporter Ana P. Santos. She will be joined by Dr. Emma Llanto of UP-PGH and the Society of Adolescent Medicine in the Philippines, Marla Darwin, co-founder of the feminist collective Grrrl Gang Manila, and Hope Basiao-Abella, Adolescent Reproductive Health Project Coordinator at Likhaan Center for Women's Health.

To register, RSVP below and we will email you the Facebook Live event link on the day of the event. If you'd like to ask our editors or guest a question, email it to jihii@newsdeeply.com, or tweet us @womengirlshub.
