SOMETIMES, WHAT A GIRL CANNOT SAY ALOUD IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR.
At Season 5 of WHEN GIRLS TALK, we created space for adolescent girls to speak freely, ask questions and share their experiences without fear of judgement.
Beyond the conversations,
At NIGAWD, WHEN GIRLS TALK is more than an event. It is a commitment to ensuring that girls are heard, supported and empowered.

We also discussed addiction among adolescents, its causes and effects, and the importance of seeking help and support.
Listening to girls is not enough. We must take their concerns seriously, respond with compassion and build systems that protect them.
No names. No pressure. Just voices seeking to be heard.
Those notes reminded us that girls carry questions, fears and experiences that adults may never know about unless we create safe spaces for them to speak.
games, dancing and laughter, one activity stood out.
The girls anonymously wrote down their concerns, personal struggles and things they found difficult to tell anyone. They pasted their notes on a board without their names.
WHEN GIRLS TALK is happening NOW!
