“I’m not ready to get pregnant” – unprotected love Lack of understanding
Pregnancy story is not ready or pregnancy is not ready. It is still one of the important questions for Thailand itself. and in many other areas around the world According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), almost 50% of pregnancies worldwide, or approximately 121 million, are unwanted.
When talking about unwanted pregnancy in the context of Thai society we often think of another word that is “School Pregnancy” because most pregnancies are unwanted. more often than not with teenagers who are an age of curiosity
However, we must first understand that unwanted pregnancy It can happen in people who decide to have sex with false values or a lack of knowledge and understanding when having sex. Another cause is pregnancy as a result of sexual abuse.
In the first case, it is something we have to admit. Sexual desire is a natural process. The fact that we have needs is not a low sin. And it’s normal for teenagers growing up. will be interested in having sex
What is wrong is not a matter of want. but some values and beliefs Including the lack of knowledge and understanding of a separate gender.
During Valentine’s Day 2022, there is information from the Health Service Support Department. The Ministry of Public Health said that According to a survey of 1,000 young people aged 12-18 from Thailand on the issue of having sex during Valentine’s Day, it was found that 40% said that having sex on Valentine’s Day was normal and 39.1 % say they would use the opportunity on Valentine’s Day to have first intercourse
But what is more worrying is In this sample group, 68.2% thought that having sex on Valentine’s Day would not be wearing a condom. or taking birth control pills This is completely wrong to practice safe sex.
Additionally, in 2017, the Ying and Gai Ka Klai Foundation surveyed 1,608 women aged 17-40 in and around Bangkok and found that 20.8% said that having sex with a partner is unavoidable. It shows trust and 18.2% think that sleeping with a husband / boyfriend. It is a duty that must be done.
This reflects that young Thai people still have false beliefs about unprotected sex. This can lead to an unplanned pregnancy. Including various sexually transmitted diseases
Data from the Department of Health in 2021 showed that 25 cases of unintended pregnancy were encountered per 1,000 of the population among young people aged 15-19 from Thailand.
Another major problem that follows after an unplanned pregnancy is About termination of pregnancy At the end of 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 6 out of 10 of those who were not ready to get pregnant. There will be an abortion, and 45% of them have unsafe abortions.
which is in Thailand itself Information about helpline 1663, which provides consultation services for unplanned pregnancy problems in Thailand, found that 30,766 people between September 2021 – August 2022 called for consultation and wanted to terminate their pregnancy.
Therefore, the issue of having sex among young teenagers is something that adults should be advised closely and correctly. It is better to let young people follow bad examples or false beliefs. until it leads to further worsening problems
At the same time, for cases of unintended pregnancy caused by sexual harassment, One thing that must be emphasized is that “It is not the woman’s fault that caused the pregnancy” but rather the lack of restraint and control of the conscience of the zero criminals.
To solve this issue Society must build awareness. and the law discourages those who think evil
Additionally, there should be no condemnation of the female victim. Because nobody wants to be offended. What is to blame is the society which appears to be a barbaric country. that even in their own homes We may even be trampled upon.
“Couple violence” – Love is not about owning one’s life.
There is a saying that being in love can clash like tongues and teeth. but it must be emphasized that wounding does not mean harming each other physically or mentally. But it’s sad. in Thai society Filled with violence in rare love every day
The Women and Men Institute found that there were 372 domestic violence news stories in 2021, with 92 news stories or 24.7% involving alcohol as a trigger.
The foundation states that the main causes of violence in couples are jealousy, insanity due to alcohol, drug use and conflict over debt. And from the report on the situation of violence against children and women in 2021, it was found that Thai women were physically or mentally abused by at least 7 people a day and there were up to 30,000 cases reported per year.
Among the reasons above He will notice that “jealousy” is a cause that is not an external factor. but arising from values, beliefs This makes men tend to see women as “objects” in their possession. and they can do anything
2017 data from the Ying Chai Kao Klai Institute indicated that among women between the ages of 17 and 40 in and around Bangkok, up to 43.3% believed that a good wife/lover must obey and pamper men, while 40.3% of the opinion that love is Possession. Women are similar to men.
These values have led to the violence that the man does against the woman. This is something that should not happen in a romantic relationship. We should be aware and able to keep up with love that no one belongs to anyone We do not own anyone’s life, body or soul. because we are all equal human beings have the right to have a good love and he has no right to disturb anyone’s life by claiming the word “love”
“Dangers of online love” – when people are too lonely to the point of being unconscious.
on Valentine’s Day Not only the stories of married couples, singles themselves are another element of this special day. Both single people may change their status. or single people who are still lonely and waiting for love
However, it is this loneliness that can lead to disaster. Because if we long for love too much It can cause us to become “victims” in this age where criminals have more than oxygen.
The online reporting center reports that online crime statistics are only for January 2023, just one month. There were 403 cases involving love and transfer fraud, divided into 168 love and money transfer cases, and 235 love and investment fraud cases, with a total damage value of over 190 million baht.
and in this month of love There is a very high possibility that lonely people will fall prey to these scammers more.
For online love threats or Romance Scams, the trick is to trick victims into falling in love or trusting. to aim for property as an important goal The most common patterns are:
- Fraud to love and transfer money Criminals will create a luxurious profile, look good, get status, get to know, befriend, give hope, and eventually claim to live in Thailand also. along with sending value but stuck at customs Money had to be transferred to bring valuables out.
