Big ideas. Lasting impact.
The 4th UL Research Institutes Annual Research Symposium brought together researchers, educators and changemakers exploring how research, innovation and collaboration can shape a better future. Girl Up was proud to be part of the conversation.
✨ One of our favourite moments was seeing Rym and Tanushah reunite after being part of the same Girl Up Teen Advisor cohort. It’s a reminder that Girl Up leadership creates connections that last well beyond the programme.
🌍 When young people have a seat at the table, they don’t just join the conversation. They help shape it.
đź‘€ Stay tuned for more highlights and key takeaways from the symposium!

A to a day of dignity, learning and leadership. ✨

During our Pads for Dignity outreach, Girl Up Zimbabwe partnered with local facilitators to equip girls with menstrual health knowledge, practical skills and essential menstrual products.

Because when girls have the support they need, they’re empowered to stay in school, lead with confidence and shape their own futures.

The work continues. 💜🌍
