The climate crisis has a gender. And climate justice without gender justice is incomplete.

✔️ When harvests fail, girls leave school first.
✔️ When disasters hit, girls lose the most and receive the least protection.
✔️ When families are displaced, girls face heightened risk of violence, early marriage, and permanent school dropout.

These are not coincidences. They are the predictable consequences of systems that have always placed girls last. This World Environment Day, Girls Talk Organisation stands at the intersection of climate justice and girls' rights because the fight for girls' rights and the fight for our planet are the same fight.

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, and Girls Talk Organisation marks it by saying what the data demands we say clearly:

In conflict zones, girls are not caught in the crossfire. They are targeted. Deliberately, systematically, and with the knowledge that accountability is unlikely to follow.

S*xual violence is used as a weapon of war in every active conflict on earth. Forced marriage traps girls in permanent danger. Child recruitment removes them from their families and their futures. And when conflicts end, girls' specific experiences are consistently absent from the peace processes meant to reckon with what happened.

Girls deserve protection. Not prayers. Not annual observances. Real, funded, enforceable protection, in every conflict, without exception.

This World Environment Day, Girls Talk Organisation is naming something the climate conversation too often overlooks: the climate crisis has a gender.

Girls are pulled from school when climate shocks hit. Child marriage spikes when harvests fail. Girls bear the heaviest burden of displacement and receive the least protection. And the communities most devastated by environmental breakdown are the same ones where girls already face the most barriers.

This week's Girls' Rights Brief examines the gendered dimensions of the climate crisis, and what climate justice actually requires for girls. Read the full article at the link below.

The climate crisis has a gender.

1️⃣ When harvests fail — girls leave school first.
2️⃣ When disasters hit — girls are displaced and least protected.
3️⃣ When families cope — girls are married early.

This week's Girls' Rights Brief examines how climate change disproportionately affects girls, and why climate justice and gender justice are the same fight.

One month of period awareness means nothing without action.

Menstrual Health Awareness Month is closing today. But the 500 million people experiencing period poverty will still be there tomorrow. The girls missing school because of menstrual stigma will still be there. The communities where periods are still treated as shameful will remain.

Awareness is the starting point. What comes next is up to all of us. Thank you for being part of this month. Now carry it forward.

Safe period management should not be a privilege. For too many girls in rural Gambia, it has been out of reach.

Awa Barry from Ndemban Village is one of close to 1,000 girls and young women who have received a Girls Talk Organisation Self-Love Kit since 2022. Her experience speaks to something the data rarely captures, the quiet confidence of knowing you have what you need, that it is safe, and that it works.

This Menstrual Hygiene Day, that is what we are building toward. For every girl

Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day. 28 May 2026. This year's mission: Together for a .

A world where no girl misses school because she lacks a pad. Where menstrual health is a human rights issue. Where stigma no longer silences the conversation every girl deserves to have.

Girls Talk Organisation marks the day with close to 1,000 Self-Love Kits distributed across rural Gambia, a 2025 outreach in Challa Village where girls learned to make their own reusable pads, and a commitment to keep going.

We are not there yet. But we are building it. Together for a .

Menstrual Hygiene Day is in four days — and this year, Girls Talk Organisation marks it with close to 1,000 Self-Love Kits distributed to girls and young women across rural Gambia since 2022.

This month, we have been sharing stories, data, and conversations that center on menstrual health as a girls’ rights issue. On 28 May, we will be doing the same, louder, under this year’s united mission: Together for a .

Close to 1,000 girls. Four years. One conviction: period dignity is a right.

This week's Girls' Rights Brief marks Menstrual Hygiene Day by telling the story of what Girls Talk Organisation has built on the ground in rural Gambia from our first Self-Love Kit distribution in 2022, to our partnership with Girls Pride in 2023, to our most recent outreach in Challa Village in May 2025, where girls received menstrual hygiene kits and learned to make their own reusable pads.

Product access. Education. Community sensitisation. Together, every time. Because one without the other is not enough.

And this October in Los Angeles, on Period Action Day, we are taking the conversation further. In partnership with period-focused organizations, Bodies and Brushstrokes is coming. More details soon.
