The images were released in conjunction with Save the Children's first-ever Girls' Opportunity Index, which ranks 144 countries based on gender equality. Using the index and extensive data, the nonprofit highlighted the best and worst places to be a girl around the world.

Sweden comes out on top as the country with the most equity for girls, while the UK ranks 15th and Australia trails at 21. The United States, however, ranks even lower, coming in at spot 32.

Senegal ranked 98 out of 144, with high rates of child marriage and adolescent pregnancy.

Niger is at the very bottom -- a country where girls are struggling to thrive or, in some cases, even to stay alive. Notably, the bottom five nations, all located in Africa, are some of the poorest countries in the world. According to Save the Children, girls in these countries are more likely to marry young, get pregnant as a teen, die during pregnancy or childbirth, and drop out of school.

Of all the countries surveyed, Senegal ranked 98 out of 144, reporting high rates of child marriage, adolescent pregnancy and stunted education.

Diallo's photo series is an attempt to prevent these statistics from just becoming stale numbers, documenting teen mothers' lived experiences in Senegal.

Penda became pregnant after a taxi driver in Dakar drove her to a deserted area and raped her. She says she feels shame after being assaulted. Because of her religions beliefs, she feels as though she committed a sin.

"I am pregnant and had nowhere else to turn," she says, explaining why she came to La Maison Rose. "I feel like my family won't accept the reason why I am pregnant."

A health worker referred her to the La Maison Rose shelter, which Penda hopes can help her mend her relationship with her family -- especially her mother.

"It's nice here at La Maison Rose," says Penda, who is now seven months pregnant. "They have security and gatekeepers so that no one will come in the house who is not supposed to be here."

To prepare for motherhood, Penda is learning life skills through various classes at La Maison Rose. She originally came to Senegal to study hairdressing, and hopes to continue her studies after her baby is born.

Marième, 15, came to La Maison Rose to escape a lifetime of abuse and to learn how to support her 2-year-old son.

Growing up with a mother who lives with severe mental illness, Marième spent much of her life living on the streets, where she was often sexually abused. Marième was first assaulted at age 11 by a man living in the same shelter as her family. Her mother was so furious with Marième in the aftermath of the assault that she beat her.

"After the attack I felt all alone and had no support," Marième says. "Other children would tease me and insult me on the streets. They would call me names like 'prostitute.'"

Marième was raped again at 12 while she was homeless and looking for cashew nuts to eat. After her second rape, Marième became pregnant. She came to La Maison Rose shortly after on the recommendation of a community elder in Dakar, giving birth at age 13.

After her child was born, she left La Maison Rose to live with extended family. But her family abused her and tried to force her into marriage with a much older man who already had three wives. To escape, Marième returned to La Maison Rose to live with her son.

Without support from La Maison Rose, Marième says she would probably be dead.

"After all I have been through, I feel like know which path I need to steer my son on to have a good life," she says. "Now I know the way."

Fatou, 25, came to La Maison Rose after becoming pregnant as a result of sexual abuse.

Fatou became pregnant after a stranger raped her while she was staying at a friend's house. She says she barely has any memories of that time. Three months later, however, she discovered she was pregnant.

Too fearful to tell her parents, Fatou lived on the streets of Dakar until police picked her up and referred her to La Maison Rose. There, she received the support to tell her family. But Fatou says her parents haven't been in touch since she told them of her pregnancy.

"I am worried about giving birth and whether my father will accept me," says Fatou, who is now seven months pregnant. "He hasn't visited me since I got here or got in touch with me."

But Fatou says she likes living at the shelter, becoming close with the other girls and participating in classes. She sees the shelter as a vital step toward more independence -- both for her and her baby.

"I would like to stay at La Maison Rose until my new baby is strong enough," she says."Then, we will leave and rebuild my life."

Anta, 25, came to La Maison Rose after living on the streets with her children.

Anta has two children, a 9-year-old boy who lives with her father and a 4-year-old girl who lives with her at La Maison Rose. Anta is pregnant with her third child.

Her third pregnancy was with her new boyfriend, whom she hoped to marry. But her physically and emotionally abusive stepmother spread vicious rumors to the point where her boyfriend’s family no longer wanted them together.

Despite her pregnancy, Anta left her father’s house to flee her stepmother.

"I have had a very tough life," Anta says. "At one point I thought about ending my life, but I immediately thought about my children ... Who would be there for them?"

After living on the streets with her children, Anta was referred to La Maison Rose by a friend. She says the shelter gives her invaluable support, setting up pregnancy check-up appointments and teaching her life skills.

"I am very shy about sharing my story, but I want to do so, as I hope that other women who are in a similar situation to me will see my story and know there is support out there," she says.

Coumba, 26, came to La Maison Rose after being abandoned by her family and the father of her child.

After the death of her adoptive mother, Coumba was rejected by the rest of her family because she was not a blood relative. With no family support, she has spent her life living on the streets ever since.

She became pregnant by a boyfriend with her second child, but when her boyfriend found out, he immediately abandoned her.

"The day I told my boyfriend I was pregnant with his child was the last day I ever heard from him or saw him again," she says. "He disappeared, and stole a large amount of money from me at the same time. He took nearly all my life savings."

That's when she came to La Maison Rose, after being referred by a religious group. She says the classes offered by the shelter have taught her a lot -- both in terms of essential life skills and self-love.

"Arriving here felt like I’d had a mask over my eyes and now it’s been taken away," she says. "Now, I can see clearly and I can see reality."

Coumba’s dream is to be able to support and live with both her children. Currently, her oldest son -- who is 7 years old -- is in a care home, but she hopes to support him independently someday.
