These are such inspiring stories for #DayOfTheGirl. They're powerful reminders that incredible things can happen when we invest in girls and create opportunities for them to thrive. By giving girls the chance to hope, dream, and take action, we're unlocking transformative change—not just for individual girls but for entire communities.

At EngenderHealth, we maximize our impact through strategic collaborations with government partners, youth- and women-led organizations, and civil society groups. We enhance service quality, outreach, and sustainability by leveraging existing resources. We're improving service quality and community outreach while standing firm for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and standing against gender-based violence (GBV). Through our partnership with the Ethiopian Women Lawyers association (EWLA), we train law enforcement and provide free legal services to GBV survivors, ensuring their safety and support. We also collaborate with YETENA WEG | ??? ?? regarding a social media platform created by young healthcare professionals to run a digital awareness campaign on SRHR that targets youth and healthcare providers.

A robust health system is crucial for delivering quality healthcare. What's your top reason why we should strengthen our health systems??

At EngenderHealth, we recognize the historical and social disadvantages that hinder women, young people, and marginalized groups from receiving equitable treatment and reaching their full potential in sexual and reproductive health and rights. To address these disparities, we embed Gender, Youth, and Social Inclusion (GYSI) principles across our health systems strengthening activities. Our approach focuses on two key areas: ?Systematically examining how multiple axes of inequality affect health access and outcomes based on individual identities. ?Designing and implementing tailored strategies that address the unique needs and interests of women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals. ??
