In August 2020, Zimbabwe amended the Education Act to prohibit schools from expelling girls who were falling pregnant with what they had been doing previously. A third of Zimbabwe women marry before they're 18 and there is a lot of social stigma around staying in school after you fall pregnant. In 2020, around 3,000 girls dropped out of school for being pregnant. But with the most recent number, nearly 6,000 girls are trying to seem to be continuing.
