“…Previous scholars documented that when teenage girls lack support and encouragement from society to claim their sexual identity as part of their human rights; they feel marginalized and expose themselves to risky sexual behaviours (Koen, 2009;Van Eijk, 2007). Risk sexual behaviour includes being sexually active, having multiple sexual partners, practicing unsafe sex, sex while drunk, usage of drugs, sexual promiscuity and sexual or partner violence (Dunkle, Jewkes, Nduna, Levin, Jama, Khuzwayo, Koss & Duvvury, 2006;Richter, Komárek, Desmond, Celentano, Morin, Sweat & Coates, 2013). Due to stress, to cover their emotional inadequacy, they develop a tendency to drink alcohol, sleep with multiple sexual partners and feel the need to prove that they are able to have children before marriage as a way of attaining adult status (Gustafsson & Worku, 2002;Jewkes et al, 2009) which impairs their psychological wellbeing.…”
