Toxic Waters Of Karnaphuli
September 27, 2025, Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh: A girl collects water from the Karnaphuli River in Chittagong. Industrial waste, plastic, polythene, and everyday garbage are increasingly polluting the Karnaphuli River. Once clear and full of life, the river is now losing its natural vitality due to relentless pollution. With no alternative water sources, thousands of families living along the riverbanks, including those in the Fishery Ghat area of Chattogram city, are forced to use this contaminated water. The water poses health risks, leading to a growing outbreak of waterborne diseases. (Credit Image: © Mohammed Suman/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

REPORTAGE - Schwangere Teenager in Mexiko
Xochiquetzal Sánchez Escobar at school in Juchitán, Mexico on February 18, 2016. Despite her teenage rebel style, Xochi, as she is known, dressed in the traditional Zapotec style for her engagement party. She is 17 and five months pregnant. The daughter of a single-mother former missionary and nun, Xochi says she had always talked about having a baby in her teens because she thought her mother was old when she had her at 28. She kept her pregnancy secret from her mother until February. After the baby - a boy, David Mateo - is born in June, she plans to move with her boyfriend to a house where they will live together and he will have his tattoo studio, and they plan to marry next June. She plans to finish her final year of secondary school in the town of El Espinal in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca next year, with her mother looking after the baby in the mornings while she is in class. Being a schoolgirl housewife does not worry her, she says, although she admits she cannot cook. Her grandmother, who lives with the family, is thrilled at the prospect of a great-grandchild. Xochi dreams of giving birth in water, but is not sure that will happen. While Mexico has outlawed marriage under the age of 18, many young girls become unofficial wives and mothers much earlier. In Juchitán, teenage pregnancy is expected, even prized. Mexico ranks first in teenage pregnancies among the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

REPORTAGE - Schwangere Teenager in Mexiko
Xhunaxhi Rosalía Santiago López (R) portrayed with her mother Antonia López Guerra (L) at their home in Santa María Xadani, Oaxaca, Mexico on February 18, 2016. Xhunaxhi – her name means “virgin” in Zapotec – is 14 and lives with her 18-year-old partner and her mother, who had her own first child aged 17, in the town of Santa María Xadani in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Xhunaxhi, who speaks little Spanish, is painfully shy and childlike and punctuates her comments with giggles. She is five months pregnant, but seems not to really understand – she has to ask her mother when her baby is due. She left school at 10 to travel with her family to Tepic, in the western state of Nayarit, for six-month stints working cutting sugar cane. She met her boyfriend last year, keeping the relationship secret from her mother, and was “stolen”, according to the Zapotec tradition. She plans to marry legally at 18. While Mexico has outlawed marriage under the age of 18, many young girls become unofficial wives and mothers much earlier. In Juchitán, teenage pregnancy is expected, even prized. Mexico ranks first in teenage pregnancies among the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The daughter of a single-mother former missionary and nun, Xochi says she had always talked about having a baby in her teens because she thought her mother was old when she had her at 28. She kept her pregnancy secret from her mother until February. After the baby - a boy, David Mateo - is born in June, she plans to move with her boyfriend to a house where they will live together and he will have his tattoo studio, and they plan to marry next June. She plans to finish her final year of secondary school in the town of El Espinal in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca next year, with her mother looking after the baby in the mornings while she is in class. Being a schoolgirl housewife does not worry her, she says, although she admits she cannot cook. Her grandmother, who lives with the family, is thrilled at the prospect of a great-grandchild. Xochi dreams of giving birth in water, but is not sure that will happen. While Mexico has outlawed marriage under the age of 18, many young girls become unofficial wives and mothers much earlier. In Juchitán, teenage pregnancy is expected, even prized. Mexico ranks first in teenage pregnancies among the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

REPORTAGE - Schwangere Teenager in Mexiko
Xhunaxhi Rosalía Santiago López (C) portrayed with her partner Rolando Luis López (L) and her mother Antonia López Guerra (R) at their home in Santa María Xadani, Oaxaca, Mexico on February 18, 2016. Xhunaxhi – her name means “virgin” in Zapotec – is 14 and lives with her 18-year-old partner and her mother, who had her own first child aged 17, in the town of Santa María Xadani in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Xhunaxhi, who speaks little Spanish, is painfully shy and childlike and punctuates her comments with giggles. She is five months pregnant, but seems not to really understand – she has to ask her mother when her baby is due. She left school at 10 to travel with her family to Tepic, in the western state of Nayarit, for six-month stints working cutting sugar cane. She met her boyfriend last year, keeping the relationship secret from her mother, and was “stolen”, according to the Zapotec tradition. She plans to marry legally at 18. While Mexico has outlawed marriage under the age of 18, many young girls become unofficial wives and mothers much earlier. In Juchitán, teenage pregnancy is expected, even prized. Mexico ranks first in teenage pregnancies among the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
