HAVANA, Cuba – María Karla Crukshank Fuentevilla is 15 years old and 29 weeks pregnant. It has not been an easy pregnancy. “This pregnancy was a surprise. At first it scared me, because it was something too hard for me,” she told UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem, during her recent visit to Cuba. “I never thought I would be pregnant at this age, because I wanted to graduate and then have my children.”
'I'm not aware of any case of a deputy or a member of the Women and Family Orientation Houses approaching anyone to show their interest in the situation of a family living in their community,' says a former judge.
