Testimony: Even when I had a choice, I didn’t really feel like I did

Testimony by Ermira from Tirana, Albania

I was a teenager who had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. My family was very supportive but very religious and even when I had a choice I didn’t really feel like I did. So, I got married when I had a child. I also got divorced by the time I was 20 and, as a high school dropout, I was pregnant again because I wasn’t educated on how to protect myself and use contraceptives. I felt stupid and irresponsible but I knew I could not support another child.
