Retreat Held for Teen Mothers

Elizabeth Thompson
Press Release

    (DCE July 28)  -  Thirty teen mothers will be attending a retreat for the empowerment of women from July 30-31 under the theme “Expanding Democracy through Local Governance and the Empowerment of Women.”

     

    This comes as the DCE has been mandated to create a system of local government through the establishment of Constituency Management Teams (CMT).

    As such, DCE and the Department of Gender Affairs are collaborating on a Gender, Governance and Empowerment Retreat for Leaders (GGERL) because both Departments are of the view that women play a crucial role in governance at the community-level.

    Additionally, they believe buy-in from female leaders and young women would fast-track the attempts for establishing a local government system which can be remodeled through the role of teen mothers in leading their children to empowered lives.

    The ladies, eighteen from St Kitts and twelve from Nevis, will be engaged in several sessions including “Who Am I? I Am Woman”, “Teen Moms and Their Sexual Health”, “Finding Your Voice and Expressing Yourself”, “Creative Arts and Self Imaging”, “Social Graces for the Teen Mom”, “Presenting Yourself…Best Face Forward” and “Who Am I…We are Teen Moms” on Day 1 and on Day 2 they will reconvene in a Mentorship Retreat with assigned mentors.

    At the end of the day, both Departments are expecting to create a mentorship program for the teen mothers.
