Empowering ecuadorian girls for stopping violence

As the year came to an end, the Girls’ Club held a meaningful closing process that allowed participants to reflect on everything they had learned and experienced throughout the year. This space for evaluation and collective reflection made it possible to identify significant personal and group progress.

Compared to the beginning of the year, a notable growth was observed in the girls’ emotional maturity, stress management skills, and sense of motivation and purpose. The participants demonstrated a greater ability to recognize and regulate their emotions, face challenges with resilience, and articulate personal goals aligned with their values and aspirations. These changes reflect the impact of the continuous learning spaces, dialogue, and group support fostered by the Girls’ Club.

Looking ahead to 2026, the Girls’ Club has already begun its enrollment process for the new cycle. The program will continue working with the group of girls who have been part of the Club, while also welcoming new participants who wish to join this space of learning, empowerment, and collective growth.

This group has consistently shown resilience, capacity, and leadership—especially within the complex social context of their community. Their commitment and active participation reaffirm the importance of sustaining and strengthening this initiative as a protective and empowering space for girls and young women.

The Girls’ Club moves into 2026 with renewed motivation, continuing its mission to foster leadership, emotional well-being, and social engagement, while supporting young women as they navigate challenges and become active agents of positive change within their community.
