Teen pregnancy awareness campaign

A series of posters for a teen pregnancy awareness campaign, controversial for its portrayal of teenagers which some awareness groups viewed as ‘demonizing’.

Sociologist Gretchen Sisson:

Public service announcements that claim to be about “preventing teen pregnancy” are more frequently about shaming and stigmatizing young parents. This is not a way to encourage young people to take control of their reproductive lives, and it’s certainly not a way to support young families.
