“Yo lo hice sin
saber bien lo que hacía, no entendía cómo funcionaba eso (refiriéndose al
sexo)… y así sin darme cuenta ya estaba embarazada. Tampoco sabía que podía
cuidarme para no tener hijos.”
“Mi primer hijo
lo tuve porque quise, quería saber que se sentía tener un hijo. Lo hice con mi
novio sabiendo lo que hacía”, pero a este hijo no lo quiero (refiriéndose a su
segundo bebe)… me dijeron que la inyección que me ponían era para no tener
hijos… me pusieron en un centro de salud… pero no funciono y me quede
embarazada”…
Curiosidad, ignorancia, dolor, frustración, abandono,
soledad, impotencia, son solamente algunas palabras, de las tantas, que me
vienen a la mente cuando veo a estas niñas convertidas en madres.
Estos testimonios, mencionados más arriba, son solo dos
de muchas adolescentes, que al verse en su nueva situación, no la entienden y
no saben qué hacer con ello.
En muchos países latinoamericanos, este problema semeja
una epidemia… y creo que todos en alguna medida somos responsables de hacia
dónde camina nuestra sociedad… cada quien sabrá en que y como puede colaborar
para que esto disminuya.

"I did not know what I was doing, did not understand how it worked (referring to sex) ... and so without realizing it was already pregnant. Nor knew I could take care not to have children. "
"I had my first child because I wanted to, I wanted to know that he was a child. I did it with my boyfriend knowing what I was doing, "but this child does not want it (referring to her second baby) ... I was told that the injection that made me was not to have children ... they put me in a health ... but not I run and I get pregnant "...
Curiosity, ignorance, pain, frustration, abandonment, loneliness, helplessness, are only a few words, of the many that come to mind when I see these girls turned mothers.
These testimonies, mentioned above, are just two of many teenagers, finding himself in his new situation, they don´t understand and don´t know what to do with it.
In many Latin American countries, this problem resembles an epidemic ... and I think to some extent we are all responsible for our society where it is going ... everyone will know where and how you can contribute to this decrease.
These photographs belong to a photographic test performed in the years 2012-2013 in a public hospital. Were exposed in the collective expo WOMEN X WOMEN at the Cultural Center of Spain Juan de Salazar in March 2013.
