Our Story

Girls Talk Organisation was founded in 2018 in The Gambia with a bold and urgent mission: to create a world where every girl feels seen, heard, and safe. Born from the passion of a young woman who refused to stay silent in the face of inequality, our work began by opening spaces for girls to speak freely, gain access to life-changing education, and live free from violence, shame, and harm.​ From schoolyards and village circles to digital platforms and national conversations, our movement grew, built on sisterhood, advocacy, and a deep belief in the power of girls to change their lives and lead their communities.

​

In 2025, Girls Talk expanded to the United States, marking a new chapter in our story, one rooted in cross-continental solidarity, shared learning, and collective healing. Our presence in the U.S. deepens our commitment to supporting girls through mental health advocacy, leadership development, and community education.

​

What began as a local call for justice has become a global movement amplifying girl-led voices, building youth power, and pushing for systemic change. Whether in a classroom in Banjul or a community center in Los Angeles, our purpose remains the same: to empower girls to rise, lead, and transform the world around them.
