Contraception Services Dilemma For Teens And UnMarriages In Indonesia

Family planning programs have been implemented in Indonesia today which require attention more seriously by the parties concerned. The program that has been implemented since the second President, Suharto looks lost the energy since the government reformation issue. The approach must be done through the individual rights approach (right-based approach) that guarantee human rights of all individuals, especially women to obtain family planning services and reproductive health

Unfortunately for the group of teenagers and unmarried women there is no body or institution appointed by and responsible to serve the needs of family planning services and reproductive health information dissemination. This was revealed during the exposure by the head of BKKBN Dr. Sugiri Syarief, MPA at a press conference in the framework of the World Contraception Day, held in Jakarta last October 2009.

"We have as many as 64 million adolescents (aged 10-24 years), or about 28.6 million percent of the total population in Indonesia", Dr Sugiri Syarif said. From the results of Adolescent Reproductive Health Survey Indonesia 2007 shows that there is only one percent of women and 5 percent of teenage boys who agreed to when making pre-marital sex. If this behavior continues, and knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health is less, there will be a possibility of pregnancy is not expected that the end will trigger an unsafe abortion.

"In this case the BKKBN can not serve the needs of teenagers and unmarried woman is the absence of mandates and laws that legalize the services for them," said Sugiri further. This is become a challenge for the decision makers in legislative level and all elements of society including religious leaders in seeking appropriate solutions to the national family planning program can be successful.
