GOALS FOR GIRLS (GFG)

Help Girls Stay in School
Advocacy Against Early Child Marriages, Teenage Pregnancies and Female Genital Mutilation.
Eliminate Sexual Abuse and Gender Inequality
Enhance Opportunity, Dignity and Education
Promote Good Health, Sexual Rights and Freedom from Abuse and Violence.

The stigma and taboo surrounding menstruation is a human rights issue. It inflicts hardship, violence, discrimination, shame and indignity on women and girls which leads in some cases girls missing days out of school and even drop out of school entirely due to poor performance after so many absences. How then can we achieve gender equality? (SDG 5).

The stigma around it violates their rights to human dignity, non- discrimination, freedom from degrading treatment, violence and abuse.

OUR MISSION: Saving lives through improved and sustained health awareness programs to those in need as well as bridging the gap between policy, knowledge and action for people to reach their full potentials for good health.
