Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls

Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls

Project Report | Jul 12, 2026
Give Hope, Restore Dignity

By Elizabeth Elachi | Project Leader

Dear Valued Supporter,

Imagine a young girl in Benue State named Amina. At just 14, she was forced into marriage—a practice all too common in her community, where more than 4 in 10 young women are married before 18. Like many, Amina’s childhood was abruptly stolen, leading to early pregnancy, health complications, and isolation from her peers. Yet, Amina’s story is not unique; it echoes the experiences of thousands of girls whose dreams are curtailed by gender-based violence, child marriage, and harmful traditions.

The pain doesn’t end with individuals. Communities suffer when girls are denied education and women are silenced by violence. Stigma, poverty, and cultural norms perpetuate a cycle that affects everyone. Families lose daughters to trauma. Schools lose promising students. The future loses potential leaders, doctors, and innovators.

But change is possible—and it starts with empowering survivors.

Our project, "Support Sexual Health Rights for Women and Girls," is more than an initiative; it’s a lifeline. Through your generous support, we will:

  • Provide life-saving information and peer support to 400 women, girls, and youth, helping them understand their rights and options.
  • Offer safe spaces for survivors like Amina to heal, share, and rebuild confidence—breaking the silence and ending isolation.
  • Facilitate community dialogues that challenge long-held beliefs about child marriage, FGM, and GBV, creating a groundswell of local leaders advocating for change.
  • Mobilize caregivers, influencers, and youth to reject harmful practices and champion the value of every girl’s life.

When survivors receive support, their entire community benefits. Girls who return to school inspire others. Women who speak out against violence pave the way for justice. Communities that embrace rights-based education see reductions in teenage pregnancies, maternal deaths, and cycles of abuse.

Your donation can transform stories of pain into stories of hope. By joining hands with GoGreen, you become an ally to every girl fighting for her freedom and every community striving for a safer, more equitable future. Let’s build a Benue State where no girl’s potential is wasted, and every survivor finds her voice.

Together, we can create lasting change—one life, one family, one community at a time.
