Girls of color and those who are from rural areas or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender are at the greatest risk, according to the Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center s Research to Action: Make Girls a Priority in Florida study commissioned by the Florida Women’s Funding Alliance. We are talking about girls in middle school and high school across our state, in our communities, said Vanessa Patino Lydia, vice president of research and planning at the policy center.

This is not a retrospective study, having these conversations with girls when they re young women or adults, but it s happening now and it s very relevant.
