Jinna Rosales of Accion Joven, a group that supports young people, says it's the poor provision of sex education and the prevalence of gender-based violence that lies behind many of these pregnancies, and the risky abortions that sometimes result.
Young activists from an online collective called Generation Celeste - which describes itself as For Life, For Family, For Freedom of Honduras - disagree. The promised change with regard to the morning-after pill has also failed to materialise. On 6 December the Ministry of Health announced that the pill would be made legal again for the first time since the 2009 coup - but only in cases of rape. It must be administered by a doctor at a hospital.
