Bridge the gender gap through essential skills training and workshops

Many young girls and women around the world suffer from misinformation on menstrual health, contributing to gender inequality and health risks. Good Neighbours Canada’s Better Life for Girls program aims to empower girls around the world by providing them and their broader communities with menstrual and reproductive health education. This includes lessons on personal hygiene, enabling access to appropriate, safe menstrual management products, and opening discussion on menstruation to reduce social stigma.

 

Good Neighbours Canada partners with a local team to organise girls’ clubs and training sessions to promote options in adulthood beyond becoming homemakers. One of the biggest goals of this project is to provide a safe place for women to ask questions, creating learning opportunities in a judgement-free environment, and to discover their personal talents and aspirations. We also provide vocational and skills training to help them enter the workforce as adults, enabling whole communities to escape the cycle of poverty by reducing financial reliance on a single household earner.
