About

Girls Talk Organisation is a registered non-profit organisation founded on the 4th of May 2018 in The Gambia with the objective of addressing issues affecting women and girls in our society. We strive to end sexual and gender-based violence, harmful traditional practices and promote the rights of all women and girls. Our goal is to reach women and girls throughout the country, mentor them, create an environment free of violence and discrimination against them, and provide them with safe spaces to achieve their dreams and reach their full potential. 

​

Through our online advocacy and onsite programs, we have reached hundreds of girls and young women since our establishment. Our organisation's goal is to achieve equality through inclusiveness; therefore, we include boys and young men in our activities and initiatives so that they are taught about their important role as stakeholders in ending all forms of violence against women and girls. We employ community-based advocacy and sensitisation techniques as part of our policy and advocacy approach for combating violence and discrimination against women and girls. We envision a society in which women and girls are not discriminated against and have access to equal rights and opportunities.
