About Us
We are Girls First Initiative
We are an NGO in Tanzania focused on championing and amplifying the voices of girls at risk of sexual Harassment. The organization seeks to ensure the right of girls are promoted through defending their right to health, education, and economic growth which are the root causes that increase the girl’s vulnerability to sexual harassment.
The initiatives ensure the realization of reproductive rights for girls and support access to a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services– including voluntary family planning, maternal health care, and comprehensive sexuality education.
