When a woman shares her story of violence, she takes the first step to breaking the cycle of abuse.
It’s on all of us to give her the safe space she needs to speak up and be heard.
It’s important to remember that when discussing cases of sexual violence, a victim’s sobriety, clothes, and sexuality are irrelevant.
The perpetrator is the sole reason for assault and must bear the responsibility alone. Call out victim-blaming and counter the idea that it’s on women to avoid situations that might be seen as “dangerous” by traditional standards.
I think for better livelihood in the society, most especially the rural populace; the girl child must not be left out when it come to executing projects that has to do with the girl child because they have the capacity once given assistance to transform their society directly or indirectly
I also think, catching them young (at teen age) is much better
I would reach out to both indirect and direct connections i.e chief, Church elder, parents, relatives, youth representatives, peers among other close persons.
Most girls around the globe are marginalized in alot of areas. The ministries and departments of gender should work hand in hand with the department and ministries of community development and social welfare to identify these girls' needs and help them where necessary.
I think one very important thing to do is to create a safe space for her to speak,making sure her voice is being heard as well.
The most vulnerable girl is mostly always on her own,always has a shield up to prevent herself from getting hurt,she doesnt allow people get close to her.The most vulnerable girl needs a safe space
This course helps to not just find her but also understand her
Of course, it is very difficult to find the most vulnerable girl in our community compared to how we help and recruit. But if all our recommendations were taken into account, the most vulnerable girl would be affected and chosen.
Any girl aged 0 to 5 years who has been suspected or diagnosed of malnutrition of any kind in rural Kenyan setup... they are mainly fed on unbalanced diet. they are mainly abandoned by parents to the grandparents or orphaned, i will find her through word of mouth, door to door, and health centers, they mobilize social impactors to fight malnutrition through food provision.
Finding girls with similar problems is easy as there are many girls who might be friends and it wont take much long to understand each individual as they have the same problem. Keeping organizers in the same area and finding out the area's situation daily can help a lot.
true, finding girls with the similar profiles may help us target a larger number of girls.
yes, maybe talking to the head of each community can help make a better progress with the help of the heads helping as well
Hi.everyone
Hi.target
My target girl should be between 12 - 19 years of age so it is assumed that she is a student. Therefore, to find her, I will therefore work towards obtaining the permission of Lagos State Ministry of Education to go to 20 secondary schools and (public and private) in each of the Local Government Areas in the State; visit 10 religious organizations (churches/mosques) in each of the Local Government Areas in the State, access girls in the slums through their community heads and gate-keepers
In my opinion, by knowing directly with whom we interact with the problem owner, we can get to know better, who and how these unwanted things can happen. we can also recognize directly who we are dealing with

according to my community, its difficult to reach vulnerable girls but through the CHVs in they are able to be reached. attending the baraxzas and asking the village elders to allow them come get information on sexual health.
Great feed back.
The girls between 6 to 14 years are the most vulnerable because they have lack experience and have not seen the world as to what it is. we can organize campaigns circulate flyers so that we can find these girls. if i can not find her then for representing her voice i can study about them and raise my voice for them through platforms like social media or television or news papers
I can meet the youth leader of the community to help gather such girls

Reaching out to the community leaders is very important as well as their parents. Although at times it may be difficult especially because of their cultures and beliefs. But making them aware of the importance of educating their girls will maybe change their minds.
I think the best way to ensure that the most girls are reached is through communications campaign because this will make sure even those with less education are reacheed.
Our priority at Wase Onkasev Initiative [Help The Girls] is to recruit the most vulnerable girl who has never enrolled in school due to poverty or who would have loved to continue to school but circumstances beyond her control made her drop-out of school. The vulnerable girl is between ages 8-19 years and lives in a rural community of Naka, Gwer-West Local Government Area of Benue State, Middle Belt Nigeria where more than half of the population live below $1 a day.
My strategy is to go Door-To-Door to find her and also go to schools were some girls are already enrolled and intervene through my mentorship programs to encourage them to stay and complete school.
If I cant reach the vulnerable girl, I intend to ask family and friends to assist in reaching out to their neighbours whose girls are not enrolled in school or are out of school. This way, I get to hear her voice though not directly. For some where mobile phones are available, I can talk to the girls directly and thereafter ensure her voice is given due attention and consideration as I try to solve her problem.
We need to give a voice to the voiceless. When we Find Her, we need to empower her with a speaking platform. All these will be possible if the girls can read and write, thus underscoring the need to educate them early.
well, the best approach of finding the most vulnerable girl in a community is through a collaboration with various people of interests like religious leaders, community leaders, and the youth groups in the community.
Finding her through community groups and, flairs or even social development is a great way to find her.
Good thing

I believe the best way to find her is through community leaders who interact with her on a day to day basis
I will list out the criteria and post on public areas and approach community leaders to recommend me that girl fullfiling my list.
If we want girls to tell us their story we need to create safe space that includes: the building , the time we arrange for discussion, avoid interruption during discussion, not share the schedule to anyone else. For my organization we did less and planning to do it differently by spending adequate time for listening to them without prejudice!
I'm learning greatly about girl centres design
As I think of a vulnerable girl in my community, girls from families that need them to work comes to mind. Although Nigeria has labour laws against this, girls younger than 16 are still been used as "house help" outside their family environment.
To find her we'll have to go to hospitals, churches and market places, because girls in these situations are usually with the families they "work" for, and sent on errands.
A discussion on what she wants out of life will have to be had to make sure that an understanding of where she hopes to be is inculcated into the plans we make for her.
If we can't reach her, we'll look at the data collected by myriads of stakeholders in government and institutions; religious, social, and educational to get an understanding of what she'll want.
the most importent topic in this course
Looking at different ways girls are vulnerable, there is always something we can. I do really like that the first thing we do after finding a girl is listening to her, and that is so crucial so that you are able to provide the correct support.
In my community there is a large number of young adolescent girls who are forced to marry against their will. Just because of family pressure and lack of someone to defend them, they tend to giving, but I believe that we need to find such girls and listen to them and come up with the best ways to help them deal with such pressure
That's exactly the same thing in our community here
IT is better I continue to look for her until I find her so as to design a solution that will fit them perfectly. I am interested in making real impact.
I do the following to find the girls with vulnerability in my community.
DESIGN FOR SOCIAL IMPACT BY INTERVENTION. This will help me to find girls with vulnerability in my community.
In addition, I can also create a safe learning environment for them
Most of the vulnerable girls that found in my community I can reach them through their parents and teachers but the great challenge is some vulnerable girls are not willing to express themselves or speak out their reality. But this is due to customs and value that are under estimating them.
But the solution to this challenge is to build capacity in self confidence to girls and another solution is to find a girl with experience who is willing to talk about the issue.
Thank you
The topic have really expanded my knowledge on understanding girl and how to address her needs
the topic is most useful to learn. and i relate this topic to my country.
She will be found through extensive leg work in her home doing housework, on the arrears sheet at school with a large fee balance that goes back many school terms, in church at the teen and youth classes, in prenatal or post natal clinics, in village soccer or social events, in cultural gatherings and so many more.
I think there are many global problems when it comes to girls so as much as the issue may be individual there is a good chance it is captured when the data of different girls is collected and therefore she will find her voice is loud among the voices of other girls
To find a vulnerable girl,
Involve all stakeholders at district level for identification.
Provide resources and budgets for the teams to reach out the girl.
Provide extra support such as staff to ensure no one is left behind.
