UNFPA and the UN systems affirms that ‘’everyone has the right to enjoy reproductive health; it is the foundation for having healthy children, relationships and families’’.

Most of Liberia’s 4.5 population does not have adequate civic and political awareness needed for a nation building. Within this number, girls, women and youth are the greatest victims. Decisions made during and after elections directly affect services that are beneficial to these girls and women. This citizens’ lack of civic education often results into too many women and girls been excluded from participating and benefit from all democratic and as well decision-making processes. As a result, thousands of citizens mostly women and girls are suffering, underrepresented in parliament, in cabinet and as well as in other hierarchies of societies. It is now evidently clear that  many of the pre-conflict conditions that helped fuel the youth’s participation in what was a brutal civil war conflict ( i.e. exclusion from family life, society, jobs and the decision making processes as well as living under oppressive traditional and cultural systems in the rural areas) still exist today.

4. Volunteers faq

The Girls For Change strongly believes in volunteerism as a fantastic way of gaining meaningful work experience, in addition to developing skills and connections that can further professional employment. Volunteers are involved in decision-making across the organization. This means when volunteers contribute to the organization’s work, they have an impact that extends beyond their particular area of responsibility and helps guide the long-term direction of Sustainable Waterloo Region.

At Girls For Change, we focus on the needs of our volunteers first. It is important to us that each of our volunteers is engaged, working on what they are most passionate about, seeing the tangible impact on the organization, and enjoying a meaningful work experience.

“When we started Girls For Change originally, we were all volunteers. I think this particularly helped to create a culture that prioritizes the needs and input of volunteers, and we’ve all worked to retain this focus in the years since founding.”

I was immediately excited to be part of such a forward-thinking initiative. The team dynamics are incredible, whether volunteer or staff, everyone in our diverse team is allowed to follow their passions, to learn, and contribute in a meaningful way… I never cease to be impressed with how willing community members have been to contribute time and resources once they hear about our mission – truly a sign of Waterloo Region’s collaborative nature”
