GIRLS ARE AT A CROSSROADS
Girls living in poverty in the United States and around the World are uniquely capable of creating a better future. But when a girl reaches adolescence, she comes to a crossroads. Things can go one of two ways for her and everyone around her:
1. SHE GETS A CHANCE. She gets educated. She stays healthy and HIV negative. Marries when she chooses. Raises a healthy family. She has the opportunity to raise the standards of living for herself and her family.
Or…
2. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN. She is illiterate. Married off. Is isolated. Is pregnant. Vulnerable to HIV. She and her family are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
The clock is ticking…
