Teen Abuse Rape

MANILA, Philippines – If you think teenage or adolescent pregnancies are all hormones and a bed of roses, then you have not yet heard of its darker side.
During a forum on teenage pregnancy, Philippine Legislators Committee on Population and Development executive director Romeo Dongeto said that a lot of early pregnancies may be attributed to abuse and forced sex or rape.
PLCPD is a non-government organization for human development, which counts 81 lawmakers as its members.
“‘Yon pong binabanggit nating teenage pregnancy ay may, for lack of better words, may darker side… At ito po ‘yong medyo malungkot, of course, teenage pregnancy as it is is a very serious problem, but sexual violence against children is also very much connected to adolescent reproductive health and teenage pregnancy in the country,” Dongeto said during the Pandesal forum in Kamuning, Quezon City.
The group noted that they are seeing an alarming trend with the teenage pregnancies being recorded by the government: most of the teenage mothers were impregnated by men older than they are.
“What we noted in the data from 2018 is that the partners of the teenage mothers are apparently older than them. So no’ng 2014, 2,250 ‘yong nanganak na 10 to 14 years old, but only 64 of their partners ay ‘yong ka-edad nila. So 2,000 plus na ka-partner nila were older than them,” he explained
(What we noted in the data from 2018 is that the partners of the teenage mothers are apparently older than them. So in 2014, out of the 2,250 teenage mothers aged 10 to 14 years old, only 64 of their partners were of the same age. So 2,000 plus of their partners were older than them.)
“Now when we look at 15 to 20 (years old), ‘yong mga 151,000 (births), only 50,000 ‘yong ka-edad nila. So over 100,000 were older,” he added.
(Now when we look at 15 to 20 year old category, of the 151,000 births, only 50,000 of the mothers’ partners had the same age. So over 100,000 were older.)
This observation has raised the issue of the age of sexual consent, which currently stands at 12 years old — a low number compared to other countries. This means that sex with a 12-year-old is, as of now, not automatically considered statutory rape.
Currently, there is a bill in the House of Representatives that seeks to raise the age of sexual consent to 16 years old. Under Tingog Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez and Majority Floor Leader Rep. Martin Romualdez’ House Bill No. 4160, an older person having sex with minors 15 years old and below qualifies to statutory rape.
According to Dongeto, numbers from the Child Rights Network (CRN) show that the Philippines is one of the world’s hotbeds — if not the largest — for child sexual exploitation and abuse.
CRN said that in 2018 alone, at least 600,000 naked and sexualized photos and videos were either shared or sold online.
Meanwhile, he also mentioned a survey by the Committee on the Welfare of Children in 2015 which showed that 1 out of 5 Filipino children are victims of sexual violence.
Dongeto implied that while teenage pregnancy is not good, it might be the lesser evil since there may be consent among the minor parents, as compared to rape and sexual violence which brings an array of psychosocial and mental problems.
“So kung consensual relationship, siguro ang feel ko ‘don is teka muna, ang mga batang ito ba ay preparado, protektado ba sila? Kasi kung pre-marital sex ‘yan… kung hindi po ‘yan protektado malamang teenage pregnancy po (ang resulta) n’yan. Pero ang mahirap po ‘yong forced sex at rape, and these are happening right now,” he added.
Also at the forum, Commission on Population and Development (PopCom) Executive Director Undersecretary Juan Antonio Perez and Kabataan Rep. Sarah Elago said that 1.2 million adolescent Filipinos have given birth in the last 10 years.
Both warned that the country may be on the losing end if the trend continues, as resources that could have been used to fund education and other pressing issues are instead allocated to helping teenage parents.

The “true” self may or may not exist, but our ideals and projections about it sure do.
Mandatory introduction: Sex abuse is gruesome, rape is horrifying, unintended teen pregnancy destroys lives. One single case of any of these is way, way too much.
But there's reason to give thanks today.
The science is clear: there's been a dramatic drop in child sex abuse and rape for several years. And while these two crimes are obviously underreported, there's no reason to think they're more underreported today than 10 years ago. If anything, the reverse is true.

Teen pregnancy has also dropped dramatically in the last few years. And although teen marriage is far more common in some American subcultures than others, the decline in teen pregnancy has occurred across every group-racial, ethnic, income, educational.
Nevertheless, the media, fundraising appeals, politicians, and conservative (and some feminist) doomsayers cry endlessly of dysfunctional epidemics, of out of control behavior, and of our country's very fabric being destroyed by sexual violence and compulsivity.
(Pornography is often cited as the "cause" of these non-existent epidemics. Claims that these social pathologies are getting worse are then used as proof that pornography is dangerous and must be controlled or eliminated. But let's not digress.)
So since it's Thanksgiving, let's give thanks. There's little enough to cheer about in our battered republic these days, and this is legitimately good news, fantastic news.
And while giving thanks, let's note:
1. America should be cheering the apparent success of various programs that address these three problems. Increased awareness, empowerment of the less powerful, and other interventions may actually be working. Those working with children are subject to more background checks; women are more assertive about their boundaries; teens are using more contraception, starting sex later, and having fewer partners.
Instead of talking about how nothing works and problems keep getting worse, let's build "things can and do change" into our national narrative. And let's demand that more resources go toward maintaining those changes, possibly helping people rather than giving in to our culture-wide despair.
2. We should be very curious about why so many people are claiming that things are getting worse when the data shows that they're getting better. This phenomenon is killing our country, and we should examine it as carefully as drunk driving, cancer clusters, high school dropout rates, and similar dangerous trends.

3. Why is the public so eager to embrace the demonstrably false myths about socio-sexual pathologies getting worse and worse? Why do we resist the good news about a drop in sexual violence or childhood exploitation?
Sexuality seems to be a magnet for this kind of mass delusion. Look, for example, at teen sexting. As online safety expert Dr. Larry Magid says, there's an epidemic of good decision-making about sexting--practically no kids do it. "It's important to acknowledge that NOT sexting is "normal," he says. Otherwise, we're practically begging kids to join the "everyone's doing it" mentality, turning a false perception into an accurate one.
An article like this inevitably receives a flood of hate mail, angry that I "don't take these problems seriously." To which I sigh, "please see this post's first and last paragraphs." But the question is, why must taking a problem seriously require either cooking or ignoring the facts? Why is cheering the improvement of a problem perceived as trivializing it?
We who care about social problems like sexual assault and sexual abuse should be working overtime figuring out exactly how these decreases occurred, so we can promote and enhance them (they may actually have little to do with recent programs or interventions). And we should be studying what perversity in human (or American) nature makes people insist that things are worse than they are, ignoring documentation of the very changes our hearts desire.

And now I'll repeat paragraph one: Any amount of sexual violence or teen pregnancy is a bad amount. But some bad amounts are bigger-i.e., worse-than others. Exaggerating how terrible things are in order to generate attention or create more funding (or to prove piety-that one really, really cares) isn't just bad policy. It's immoral.
