Climate resilience is not built through infrastructure alone. It is built when girls and young women have safe spaces to learn, lead, heal, and grow.
Last month, we brought together 50 girls and young women in Dwangwa, Nkhotakota, for an interactive session on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and leadership through our Her Resilience, Her Power project.
Through the established safe spaces in the community girls and young women are able to speak openly about the climate realities they face, understand their rights, strengthen their leadership skills, and build the confidence to become active leaders in climate action.
The girls and young women also received dignity kits containing reusable sanitary pads and hygiene products to help them as they recover and build back better.
At Green Girls Platform, we believe that resilient communities begin with girls and young women. When they have the tools, knowledge, and support to lead, they become powerful climate advocates, creating healthier communities, advancing climate justice, and shaping a greener future for all.
We are proud to implement Her Resilience, Her Power with the support of the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF).
This Youth Month, we are celebrating the young women who are proving that safe spaces are the foundation of climate resilience!
