The study gathered data about the experiences of Black girls ages 10 to 19 who live in Delaware. Girls shared their live experiences, challenges, survival strategies, and resources. Led by The National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NC100BW), Delaware Chapter data and recommendations seek to inform community advocacy agendas, public policy, funding resources, human service delivery options, and further research in the State of Delaware about Black girls.
