The need<\/h3>\n

Every girl and woman should have control over their own bodies and have access to health services, as well as having their needs related to sexuality and reproduction met. Supporting SRHR goals contributes significantly to a range of broader development goals, such as improving the status of women, contributing to economic growth and reducing poverty and inequality. Investing in adolescent girls\u2019 SRHR will improve the well-being of a whole generation and contributes to a healthy and skilled workforce for economic development. Moreover, these investments consolidate gains made from child survival and primary education initiatives and reduce future demands on government budgets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”row-about-us-item row-reverse”][vc_column_inner el_class=”content-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”title-style-custom”]<\/p>\n

Our response: Secure Futures<\/span><\/h3>\n

Adolescent motherhood is one of the most overlooked crises of our time. Nearly half of global pregnancies are unintended, and adolescent girls bear a disproportionate share of that burden. Many are forced into early marriage, stripped of choice, and left without safety nets. But this is not just a crisis \u2014 it is an opportunity multiplier. Investing in adolescent mothers improves child survival, reduces violence, strengthens mental health, expands economic pathways, and advances multiple SDGs at once. Governments and UN agencies are calling for bold, multi-sector responses that go beyond health to embrace livelihoods and justice.<\/p>\n

Secure Futures was developed to address the specific needs of young mothers, supporting them to exercise their rights and providing a safe space for young mothers to access customised sport, life skills, parenting and economic empowerment activities to improve outcomes for them and their children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_btn title=”More on Secure Futures” style=”custom” custom_background=”#8182f2″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:%2Fgrls%2Fprogrammes%2Fsecure-futures%2F” el_class=”btn-orange”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”mini-banner super-height animation-fade” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602815072920{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/grls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/GRLS-29.3.19MIB.VAP-85.png?id=1016) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1602814450167{background-color: #373aea !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom subtitlte-cyan title-white border-purple”]<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

A majority of the worlds\u2019 628 million unemployed young people are girls and young women. Barriers caused by gender inequity often prevent girls from finishing their education and, consequently, building the skills they need to access decent work and break the cycle of poverty. According to the Population Council, a delayed marriage or living free from violence allows a girl, \u201cher family, community, and country [to] experience better health, economic, and social outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girls and young women should have development pathways to gain specific skills and knowledge and increase their access to job opportunities and establish their financial independence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”row-about-us-item row-reverse”][vc_column_inner el_class=”content-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”title-style-custom title-white”]<\/p>\n

Our response: Leadership and Economic Empowerment Pathways<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sport has a powerful effect on building the economic, emotional and physical self-determination of girls, as well as changing the cultural limits they face.<\/p>\n

GRLS supports organisations by helping them design sport programmes that incorporate leadership pathways at the centre of their programmes, as well as a variety of integrated development opportunities that will help adolescent girls on their journey to gain valuable leadership and transferable life and livelihood skills, achieve economic empowerment and, ultimately, exercise their rights.<\/p>\n

We provide organisations with the tools and expertise they need so Leadership and Economic Empowerment Pathways can be specifically and intentionally integrated into adolescent girls\u2019 sport programme design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”mini-banner super-height animation-fade” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602817192031{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/grls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/GRLS-LEEP.png?id=1018) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”0px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom subtitlte-orange”]<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

Gender-based violence is a major public health and human rights problem. Worldwide, an estimated one in three women will experience abuse in their lives. This can include, but is not limited to, physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse.<\/p>\n

Gender-based violence undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims, yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence.<\/p>\n

We encourage girls’ self-esteem by providing them the access to the right education and tools to own their bodies, use their voices, and have a life free of violence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”row-about-us-item row-reverse”][vc_column_inner el_class=”content-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom”]<\/p>\n

\nGirls Against Aggression<\/span><\/h3>\n

Girls Against Aggression is a toolkit that organisations can use to engage adolescent girls in topics around gender-based violence in their communities. This toolkit provides simple, play-based and youth-oriented ways for adolescent girls to explore and discuss gender equality, violence and aggression and what their roles are in changing attitudes and behaviours around violence against women in their communities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”mini-banner super-height animation-fade” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602817363713{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/grls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/GRLS-12189999_10153778077658945_760159691095492244_n.png?id=1013) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1602817450770{background-color: #2ffeb8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom subtitlte-orange border-orange”]<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

Globally, sport is a way people convene, gain status, create norms and celebrate culture. But access to sport is unequal. Women, girls and other underrepresented groups face barriers or are systematically excluded from participation, coaching, officiating, administrating and governing sport. This means they are also excluded from access to the sport-related benefits of peer support, networks, resources, opportunities to practice and showcase leadership, better health and well-being, and opportunities to be visible and create a profile. This inequality is known as the \u2018play gap\u2019.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”row-about-us-item row-reverse”][vc_column_inner el_class=”content-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”title-style-custom”]<\/p>\n

Our response: TEAM UP (the Australian Sports Partnerships Program)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sport for development programming through TEAM UP offers an opportunity to address the \u2018play gap\u2019 that exists in mainstream sport through carefully designed and targeted activities that level the playing field.<\/p>\n

Formally known as the Australian Sports Partnerships Program (ASPP), TEAM UP funds sport for development and strategic partnerships across Asia-Pacific that contribute to ensuring that sport programmes attract and retain women and girls; creating safe, inclusive, accessible sport organisations; and strengthening relationships and building closer collaboration between Australia and Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n

GRLS works together with GHD to manage TEAM UP, providing technical expertise in three key areas: gender equity and social inclusion, private sector engagement and partnership brokering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”mini-banner super-height animation-fade” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602817602463{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/grls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/GRLS-ASPP.png?id=1012) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”0px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom”]<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

All organisations and individuals working with children, and more specifically with girls, should take the measures necessary to protect their health, well-being, and human rights, so they can live, play and learn free from harm, neglect, and abuse.<\/p>\n

This can only be done by establishing non-negotiable policies, practical codes of conduct and organisational processes that truly ensure safe, inclusive space for youth. However, establishing safe spaces goes beyond a policy on a piece of paper taped to the wall in the office. Creating \u201csafe spaces\u201d means creating an atmosphere where girls feel free to express themselves without fear, understand and are free to exercise their rights, and are not afraid to report their rights being violated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”row-about-us-item row-reverse”][vc_column_inner el_class=”content-padding” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”title-style-custom”]<\/p>\n

\nDrawing The Line<\/span><\/h3>\n

Drawing The Line (DTL) is a girl-centred game that focuses on understanding the level of safeguarding and inclusion in programmes through the perspective of the girls and young women involved in them. It is an interactive tool helping organisations interested in improving the conditions of their programmes. The game is intended for children, however, it can also be used by coaches or others involved in the programme as a way to gather other viewpoints on the safety and inclusion of their programmes. Themes are divided in four main areas: emotional safety, physical safety, inclusion, and rights and equity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”mini-banner super-height animation-fade” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602820565433{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/grls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/GRLS-35-DTL-India.png?id=1010) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1602820631566{background-color: #f9591c !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”title-style-custom subtitlte-cyan title-white”]<\/p>\n

  • Communication and Interpersonal Skills<\/li>\n
  • Decision Making and Critical Thinking Skills<\/li>\n
