Girl Power Ukraine

The Girl Power Ukraine project achieved significant results this quarter aimed at developing, supporting and integrating adolescent girls from vulnerable social categories into community.

The project was implemented in 10 cities across Ukraine, including Khust, Merefa, Lyubotin, Kyiv, Nizhyn, Lutsk, Ivankiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Kamianske. A total of 350 young girls from various vulnerable groups participated in the project activities.

Key Achievements:

1. In August, we successfully implemented a nationwide inclusive program for girls with visual impairments. The program addressed the specific needs of the participants, enabling them to actively participate on equal terms, marking a significant step towards increasing the inclusivity of the project.
2. The forum in Kharkiv, which was attended by 100 teenage girls, was a special achievement of this quarter. Participants gained valuable knowledge on maintaining both physical and mental health. They learned how to recognize signs of gender-based violence (GBV) and ways to protect themselves, thus enhancing their safety and awareness of their rights.
3. The girls acquired basic financial literacy skills and learned about pathways to financial independence.
4. Participants developed leadership qualities, enabling them to better understand their potential and set and achieve personal goals.
5. Through support and social interaction during the activities, participants became more confident, improving their emotional well-being and self-perception.

Over 90% of participants provided positive feedback about the project, citing improvements in emotional well-being and increased self-confidence. Many of the girls found new friends, chose their future higher education institution, and became more socially active in their communities thanks to the project. Some of the girls have also chosen their future higher education institutions and become more socially active in their communities.

We aim to make the project even more inclusive by expanding the target audience to include remote and underdeveloped communities, as well as other vulnerable groups of children. This will provide local girls with access to educational and professional opportunities, promoting their self-realization.

We sincerely invite you to support Girl Power Ukraine and contribute to building a better future for girls in Ukraine.
