According to Amnesty International the increase in adolescent childbearing in South Africa is a cause for concern.

The statistics show a concerning situation with the number of births by young and adolescent girls between the ages 10 and 14 years increasing by 48.7%.

This is unfortunate as most of these girls have to leave school and hence fall behind with their school work.

In this conversation #OntheMove chats with Amnesty International South Africa’s Casssandra Dorasamy, who is a research consultant for the organisation.

We spoke to Kelly Eyre, Quality and Pedagogy Lead at Dibber International South Africa and Lindiwe Ndlovu, Mother to three boys on the Autism spectrum.

Survival skills such as situational awareness, self-defense techniques, emergency escape strategies, and knowledge of basic first aid are increasingly being recognized as essential.

These practices are no longer confined to law enforcement or military training but are being adopted by ordinary individuals as part of their lifestyle.

Why being your own first responder in emergency situations matters

We live in a world that often glorifies early success and those who achieve later in life are frequently judged against rigid timelines, whether in career, relationships, education, or personal milestones.
