Following is a summary of the reproductive health problems of youth in Ethiopia.
Young people engage in sex at an early age due to traditional practices and poor living conditions. Harmful traditional practices such as early marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), and marriage by abduction is common. Rape is a common occurrence among young women in both urban and rural areas. The prevalence of sexually transmitted Infection(STIs) like HIV/AIDS is relatively high among young people in Ethiopia. Unintended pregnancy is a serious problem among teenagers, especially since teenage pregnancy is associated with health risks to the mother during pregnancy and delivery. Abortion, which is illegal in Ethiopia, places many young women at risk, primarily because it is usually conducted under unsafe conditions. Many young women are forced to practice sex for money. Drug trafficking and drug abuse, although not a problem in the past, are becoming more common in Ethiopia.
