The Los Angeles County Report on the Status of women conclude more women are living in poverty than any other demographic with young women predominantly of color under the age of 18 representing the highest numbers in groups of people likely to be subjected to the harshest realities within poverty stricken conditions.The negative effects for young women experiencing poverty conditions are immeasurable, and serve as a deterrent for women to fully experience a state of peace with the fear, anxiety, and worry that follows when access to safety and security appears unattainable. Young women of color are more likely to fall victim to forms of violence, and Black women have the highest rates in domestic violence and are more likely to stay in poverty. Though there is considerable upward mobility in the United States, escaping poverty and violence is difficult, and racial disadvantages mean that mobility out of poverty for Black women is far more difficult.
