The Importance of Teaching Our Daughters About Their Bodies
Teenagers who lack knowledge of their own bodies are at higher risk of contracting STDs and becoming pregnant before they’re ready. Studies show that 1 in 10 teen girls experience an unplanned pregnancy each year, many due to a lack of education about sexual health and body autonomy. A 40% of high school students reported not using contraception during their first sexual experience. Teaching our daughters about their bodies leads to healthier choices, stronger self-awareness, and better protection against preventable risks.
