Go Girls Connect!

Go Girls Connect! is an innovative program that is using a mobile-based technology to build digital competency and empower girls with critical life skills, protective assets, and resources. In addition the program builds girls' skills to tackle negative gender norms and helps identify gender-based violence (GBV) survivors—particularly those at risk of dropping out of school—and links them to post-abuse services. Through the mobile app, girls use a self-administered GBV screening tool, which will trigger a GBV response protocol and provides linkages to GBV support services. Furthermore, a self-administered screening tool helps to identify girls at risk of dropping out of secondary school, and provides a response protocol early warning system that highlights the supports needed to retain girls in school.
