| Copyright © 2015-18 All rights reserved. |
Listening to news reports and the tone of national conversations about teen sexuality, one might assume
that today’s youth are all having sex. But Dianna Hobbs, who remained a virgin until marriage, knows that
there are youth still willing to abstain from premarital sex.
Abstinence is possible and Empowering Everyday Women's founder is on a mission to help today's youth
remain pure, saving both their souls and their lives in a day and age where the HIV/AIDS epidemic
continues to rage throughout the U.S. Through engaging, practical, and fact-based workshops and
trainings, she is able to effectively connect the message of abstinence to this generation in a way that
inspires them to adhere to higher standards.
Did you know a definitive 2-part report released by the National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA)
says the abstinence-centered approach, also known as the Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) approach to teen
sexuality is being “supported by parents,” and is a message that “more and more teens are adopting in their
own lives”? Download the full report here. Abstinence education works, so don't give up.

KNOW THE FACTS
There are approximately 1.1 million people
living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. alone, and
more than 500,000 of those people are Black.
It is no secret that Black Americans have
been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS
since the epidemic’s beginning, and that
disparity has only deepened over time. In
2009, the Kaiser Family Foundation
released a factsheet (Download it here)
showing the following statistics:
-Although Black teens (ages 13–19)
represent only 15% of U.S. teenagers, they
accounted for 68% of new AIDS cases
reported among teens in 2007.
-Black women account for the largest share
of new HIV infections among women (61% in
2006).
-Although Black Americans represent only
12% of the U.S. population, they account for
45% of new HIV infections and 46% of
people living with HIV disease.
-HIV-related deaths and HIV death rates are
highest among Blacks. Blacks accounted for
57% of deaths due to HIV in 2006 and their
survival time after an AIDS diagnosis is lower
on average than it is for most other
racial/ethnic groups.
-HIV was the 4th leading cause of death for
Black men and 3rd for Black women, ages
25–44, in 2006.
Empowering Everyday Women is committed
to educating African American men and
women about the importance of abstaining
from sex until marriage.
The spiritual, physical, psychological and
emotional benefits are undeniable.
