Teen Voices is a webzine by a group called Women Express devoted to assisting
young women in reaching their full potential. Girls are encouraged
to build their self-esteem through intelligence and not just body image
by promoting the submission of original writing, poetry and artwork. Girls
are asked to write articles on self-esteem, racism, sexism, feminism,
popular culture, health, and other issues important to them. According
to Women Express the goal of the site is to empower teenage girls, who
are low-income or most at risk of pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse or
committing a violent crime. Empowerment gives them the tools, skills and
confidence to view themselves as agents of social change.
