Finding Their Voices: Girls Empowering Girls in Senegal

In Pikine, Senegal, adolescent girls share how the Fort pour le Futur project helped them build confidence, learn about their health and rights, and become more active in their school and community.

Through discussions, awareness-raising activities and peer support, they gained the confidence to speak publicly, share knowledge about reproductive health and menstrual hygiene, and encourage other young people to get involved.

Produced as part of the Participatory Video and Most Significant Change (PVMSC) process, this video captures the changes experienced by the girls in their own words, highlighting how access to information and meaningful participation can empower adolescents to support one another and drive positive change.
