Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls

She should be discovering who she is.

Learning.

Growing.

Building friendships.

Developing her talents.

Imagining what she might become.

Instead, too many girls face pressures and harmful practices that can limit their choices long before adulthood.

Child marriage is not simply a ceremony.

For a girl, it can affect education, health, economic opportunity, bodily autonomy, and the ability to make decisions about her own future.

Conflict, displacement, and poverty can deepen these vulnerabilities.

When families are under extreme economic and social pressure, harmful coping mechanisms may become more likely, while girls can have fewer safe spaces to access information and support.

GoGreen believes prevention must include knowledge and community engagement.

Through Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls, we aim to reach 400 women, girls, and young people affected by conflict and displacement in Benue State.

Peer-led education and community dialogue will help participants understand sexual and reproductive health and rights, question harmful norms, recognize gender-based violence, and know where appropriate services and support can be sought.

But lasting change cannot rest on girls alone.

Communities must be part of the conversation.

Caregivers must be engaged.

Young people must be informed.

Harmful norms must be questioned.

And girls must be heard.

You can help us change that.

Donate today and stand for a future where a girl's possibilities are expanded—not prematurely decided for her.

When violence happens repeatedly, there is a danger that communities begin to see it as inevitable.

When harmful practices have existed for generations, people may stop questioning them.

When survivors are blamed or silenced, others may become afraid to speak.

But violence against women and girls should never become normal.

Globally, violence against women remains widespread. In communities already affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty, existing vulnerabilities can become even more difficult to address.

GoGreen believes sustainable change requires more than responding after harm has occurred.

We must also challenge the attitudes, misinformation, and harmful norms that allow violence to continue.

Through Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls, we aim to engage 400 women, girls, and young people in Benue State through peer-led education, community dialogue, rights-based sexual and reproductive health information, and awareness initiatives.

We want communities to recognize gender-based violence as unacceptable.

We want young people to understand dignity, rights, and informed decision-making.

We want harmful practices such as child marriage and sexual violence to be questioned rather than accepted.

And we want women and girls to feel better equipped to seek appropriate information and support.

Changing norms takes time.

But every conversation can begin to challenge an assumption.

Every informed young person can influence another.

Every community dialogue can create space for change.

Someone must help start those conversations.

This project currently has no donor support.
