About Girls Net
Girls’Net is a South African social and multi-media group for girls . We have partnered with our local organisations like 1000 Women 1 Voice , Postcards to Parliament (2022) and Helping Hands of KuilsRivier (2023). At these event Girls’Net used social media to drive awareness to the topic of those events , wrote letters and more . Girls’Net has since been run by one representative who invites young girls in her local network to participate by choosing subjects for discussion .
We then do our research and surveys to produce online content to educate our followers.
Online Safety
Online Safety can save lives! We pride ourselves on equipping girls with all the tips and tools to stay safe online, identify predators and where or who to report to. We also want to make sure survivors do not feel ashamed and alone.
Cyberbullying & GBV
With the support of 1000 Women 1 Voice Girls’Net has been fortunate enough to educate themselves on these topics. In partnership with 1000 Women 1 Voice and Womens’Net we advocated and educated on social media in order to encourage girls to seek their own solutions.
Movement Building
Feminist movement building is about bringing gender equality goals and feminist perspectives into work with all kinds of movement partners and organizing women in many different spaces including but not limited to self-defined feminist movements.
Period Poverty
The adverse effects of Period Poverty on young girls and women in South Africa include the use of unsafe sanitary products that increase health risks like infections and medical complications, around 7 million South African girls lack access to and can’t afford safe sanitary products resulting in them missing school.
