Girl's Net Girls'Net aims to grow girl's social movement through the use of ICTs
Skills and Knowledge is power!

Girl'sNet is a project of Women'sNet and was established in 2003. It builds on Women'sNet's past experiences of training 12-18 year old girls in rural areas in digital audio production training during 2002/2003. The training was supported by UNICEF, where girls produced audio spots on themes of their choice, with a view to raise awareness of their gender based experiences. The purpose of the girls' digital audio training was for each training session to generate 3-4 audio spots, produced by the girls, to be disseminated to community radio stations for broadcasting. The training involved basic computer training but the bulk of the time was spent taking the participating girls through a process where they decided which issues they wanted to produced radio spots on, wrote the scripts, recorded the spots, and finally edited the audio material on the computer. The audio spots were disseminated to the members of the National Community Radio Forum. In 2003/2004, Women'sNet implemented the first phase of the Girls Tech Clubs initiative. The first phase of the project targeted girls in 4 provinces: Eastern Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo and Gauteng.

🚫 HOME SHOULD FEEL SAFE 🚫

Not all domestic violence leaves bruises.

Some children live with:
🔴 Constant shouting and fighting
🔴 Fear and threats at home
🔴 Hurtful words and insults
🔴 Sleepless nights and anxiety

Domestic violence affects children too, even when they are not the direct target.

💜 Every child deserves a safe, loving, and peaceful home.

🏠 Domestic Abuse: Know the Signs

Domestic abuse isn't always physical. It can include threats, control, insults, fear, manipulation, isolation, or financial abuse, such as taking someone's money, controlling how they spend it, or preventing them from becoming financially independent.

🚩 If someone makes you feel unsafe, controlled, trapped, or afraid, it's not okay.

💜 You deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and have control over your own choices and finances.

📢 Don't stay silent. Speak up. Reach out. Get support. Your voice could be the first step towards safety, freedom, and healing.

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. 💚

When someone is struggling with their Mental Health, they may turn to substances to cope with difficult feelings. At the same time, Substance Use can also affect mood and make feelings of Depression harder to manage. Looking at both can be an important part of getting the right support.

SADAG is offering a FREE In-Person Mental Health Support Group for Depression & Substance Use at Ladies of Hope Community Centre, 243 6th Avenue, Mid Ennerdale, Gauteng.

The group will take place on Saturday, 10 October 2026 at 5pm. For more information, contact Sizwe Aaron on 067 741 0715.

BREAKING THE STIGMA 💚

Talking about mental health does not make you weak. Speaking up is brave and can help you get the support you deserve.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, including young people. Some common signs to look out for include:

🔹 Feeling sad, down, or hopeless for long periods
🔹 Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities they once enjoyed
🔹 Constant worry, fear, or anxiety
🔹 Changes in sleep patterns, either sleeping too much or too little
🔹 Difficulty concentrating or declining school performance
🔹 Sudden mood changes or irritability
🔹 Changes in appetite or eating habits
🔹 Low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness, or excessive guilt
🔹 Lack of energy or motivation
🔹 Talking about self-harm or feeling like a burden

Remember: experiencing one or more of these signs does not always mean someone has a mental health condition, but it may indicate they need support and someone to talk to.

Let's create safe spaces where young people feel heard, supported, and empowered to seek help when they need it. You are not alone. 💚
