Many young Filipino women admitted that they are not aware of the emergency contraception, also known as Yuzpe method, a survey revealed.

Many young Filipino women who are sexually active admitted that they are not aware of the emergency contraception , also known as Yuzpe method, which may help prevent teenage pregnancy, a survey revealed.

This indicates, according to the research agency, that the lack of awareness on emergency contraception is holding it back as a weapon for combating the Philippines’ rising adolescent pregnancy rates. Among the respondents of the survey, more than two in three said they had unprotected sex before. The same proportion reported having experienced “pregnancy scares.”

First introduced in Britain in 1984, EC pills have emerged as one of the world’s principal family-planning methods and are now approved for use in 149 countries. “EC pills can provide a last line of safe defense against unwanted pregnancy when the male partner doesn’t use a condom.”
