Girls Skills Training Platform

Today, on Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026, the Girls Skills Training Platform proudly joined the global movement to promote awareness, dignity, education, and open conversations around menstrual hygiene management. 💜🩸

As part of this year’s commemoration, we successfully hosted an impactful Information Session that brought together school-going girls, boys, and young women to learn, engage, and discuss the importance of menstrual health and hygiene.

The session created a safe and inclusive space where participants openly discussed menstruation, hygiene practices, reproductive health, self-care, and the importance of support systems within our schools and communities. One of the most powerful parts of today’s engagement was the active involvement of boys in the conversation reminding us that menstrual hygiene is not only a girls’ issue, but a community responsibility that requires understanding, empathy, and support from everyone.

By involving both girls and boys, we are helping to break myths, reduce stigma, encourage respect, and build a generation that is informed, supportive, and confident in discussing menstrual health without shame or discrimination.

Today was more than just an awareness session; it was a moment of empowerment, education, inclusion, and positive change. Seeing young people actively participate, ask questions, share experiences, and learn together gave us hope for a better and more informed future.

We sincerely appreciate:
✨ Our facilitators and medical experts
✨ Teachers and school representatives
✨ Volunteers and organizing team
✨ Partners and supporters
✨ Every girl, boy, and young woman who made time to attend and participate actively

Thank you all for contributing to the success of this meaningful program. Your presence, engagement, and support made today impactful and memorable.

At the Girls Skills Training Platform, we remain committed to creating safe spaces, empowering young people through education, and advocating for menstrual health, dignity, and equality for all. Together, we can continue to end period stigma and build supportive communities where every girl can thrive with confidence and dignity. 💜

For the past five years, we have walked a journey filled with purpose, hope, and transformation.

Through the Girls Skills Training Platform, under the SHE LEADS Project Sierra Leone, and Plan International NL we have had the privilege of training hundreds of girls and young women, girls who once only dreamed, and now stand with skills, confidence, and a vision for their future. 💛

This journey would not have been possible without the belief and support of the She Leads Project. They saw our idea, they trusted our mission, and they invested in our vision. For that, we are deeply grateful.

But every journey evolves…

While that chapter has come to a close, the story does not end here. If anything, it is only the beginning of something even greater.

Because we have seen something powerful
our girls have the skills… now they need the opportunity.

And so, with full hearts and renewed purpose, we introduce our next chapter:

✨ The Girlpreneur Bootcamp ✨

A flagship initiative born from years of impact and lessons learned. A space where skills will meet opportunity. Where ideas will be nurtured. And where young women will be guided to transform what they know into what they can build.

This is not just a program.
This is a commitment to walk with our girls from learning… to earning.

From skills to sustainable businesses.
From potential to independence.
From dreams to reality.

We believe in a future where every girl has the power to create, to lead, and to thrive.

And with your support, we can continue this journey stronger, deeper, and more impactful than ever before.

The story continues… and we are just getting started. 🌱✨

🤝 We are seeking partners and sponsors who share our vision of empowering girls and supporting sustainable impact. Your support can help us reach more young women and create lasting change in our communities.

🌍 DAY 1 – 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM

Digital Violence Is Violence. We Stand With Every Girl Including Girls With Disabilities.

Today, as the world marks Day 1 of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Girls Skills Training Platform raises its voice against a form of abuse that continues to grow silently: digital violence against women and girls.

For many, digital abuse comes through harassment, threats, impersonation, and the non-consensual demand for intimate images.
But for girls and young women living with disabilities especially those who are speech-impaired, deaf, or non-verbal the abuse is even more cruel and targeted.

Predators deliberately choose girls who:
🔸 cannot speak
🔸 cannot call for help
🔸 cannot express what is happening
🔸 depend on others for communication

These girls are exploited through repeated calls, pressure to send n**e photos, manipulation, and online threats.
For them, digital violence does not only violate their dignity it creates fear, shame, and isolation in ways many people never see.

Our position is clear and unwavering:

We stand with every girl.
We stand with girls with disabilities.
We will not ignore the digital abuse they face.
We will speak when they cannot.

While we may not yet have the full resources to address every case of digital exploitation, we refuse to remain silent.
Awareness is the first step. Protection is the goal.
And our commitment is to continue advocating, educating, and supporting the girls who are most invisible in these conversations.

Our call today is simple but strong:

🧡 Respect the digital rights of girls with disabilities.
🧡 Stop targeting vulnerable girls online.
🧡 Report any account that harasses, threatens, or manipulates them.
🧡 Stand up when they cannot speak.
🧡 Protect their dignity as if it were your own.

Digital spaces must be safe for ALL girls including those whose voices the world often overlooks.

As we enter these 16 days, we renew our commitment to speak loudly, advocate boldly, and defend fiercely.

🧡
