Šataitė herself became a mother at age 16.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Crisis Pregnancy Centre based in Vilnius. The Centre was established to help women deal with unplanned pregnancies and to prevent abortion. In addition, the Centre seeks to care for the mental health of women during crisis pregnancy and after giving birth.
