When girls have access to education and career pathways, they are less likely to be vulnerable to child marriage, which is only prohibited – without any exceptions – in 17 states here in the U.S.
At YWCA Greensboro, we provide young mothers in our Teen Parent Mentor Program with teen-centered support related to life skills training, educational and workforce development, and social-emotional health resources. Girls deserve every opportunity to thrive and we know without doubt: education helps to prevent exploitation.
