model empowers parents, particularly mothers, to share accurate information, address misconceptions, and foster
healthy behaviors in their daughters. By nurturing trust and promoting positive sexual health attitudes, parent
daughter mentorship enhances adolescents' ability to mak
benefits of parent-daughter mentorship extend beyond HIV education, encompassing emotional support, improved
communication skills, and a reduction in risky sexual behaviors. Studies show that girls
mentorship are more likely to delay sexual activity, use condoms consistently, and seek HIV testing. This relationship
also strengthens family bonds, ensuring that girls feel safe and supported when navigating adolescence’s challenges.
Empowered with knowledge and confidence, adolescent girls are better equipped to make choices that protect their
health and well-being.
