Many women have difficulty reaching the pregnancy, and often much too easy to achieve pregnancy. In some cases, many women easily achieve pregnancy, even when they do not want it. In Indonesia, many such cases occur, especially in women at younger ages that are psychologically not ready to accept the presence of the baby.
One area that has a young pregnancy cases are high enough in Central Lombok and Gunungkidul. Based on the results of the Women Research Institute (WRI), the fundamental problems faced by adolescents Gunungkidul is a lack of information, knowledge and understanding of adolescents about their sexual reproductive health. These factors lead teens having sex at a very young age, the risk of any unwanted pregnancy. In the end, they were forced to perform marriage at an early age.
This is evident from the data request to the Office of the dispensation to marry Gunungkidul Religious Court in 2010 there were 80 weddings and wedding then increased to 145 in 2011 (data Gunungkidul Religious Courts Office, 2012). Age dispensation married couples who filed ranged from 16 to 21 years.
While in Central Lombok, the issue of Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is still high which stands at 228 deaths per 100,000 live births (IDHS 2007). West Nusa Tenggara Province is one of the highest contributors to maternal mortality in Indonesia. In 2011 there were 18.915 deliveries in Central Lombok and an estimated 10 percent of births are to teenage girls between the ages of 14 to 19 years (Data Central Lombok District Health Office, 2012).
In the documentary launch and seminar titled "Ending Early Marriage and Reducing Maternal Mortality" on December 12, 2012 and the Women Research Institute tried to dissect this phenomenon in an effort to find a solution that would fulfill adolescents obtain reproductive health information and the rights attached to them, including reproductive health services for them. Because it looks clear how adolescent reproductive health is closely related to poverty in both Gunungkidul and Central Lombok.
