If a woman is trapped in pregnancy after pregnancy it is ABUSE.
If a woman is required to give birth at an early age due to oppression of opportunity to receive an abortion and/or birth control it is ABUSE.
When women can't afford birth control or don't have opportunity to receive it from any dispensery in a safe and reliable manner it is ABUSE.
A Dropout Crisis for Girls (click title to entry - thank you)
Every year, an estimated one in four girls drops out of high school — and the rates are even worse for girls of color.
Female dropouts face particularly steep economic consequences. As compared to their male peers, female dropouts have higher rates of unemployment, earn significantly lower wages, and are more likely to need to rely on public support programs to provide for their families.
- Last year, 50% of all women earned less than $20,507. (click here)
- Women are 1 and a half times more likely to be poor than men.
- 1 in 4 girls drops out of school each year.
- Even with Social Security, 1 of every 5 elderly women living alone is poor.
- Girls comprise only 15 percent of traditionally male career and technical
education classes, which lead to high-wage, high-skill jobs.
