Femina World, a Guinean organization, is launching Clubs Femina, an initiative aimed at creating safe spaces for young girls in schools and universities across Guinea. The program, presented by Femina World director Fatoumata Bidia Diallo, seeks to provide young girls with a platform to express themselves, share experiences, and develop essential skills. The initiative is a response to the needs identified by Femina World through its interactions with young girls during various activities.
The Clubs Femina will address various topics, including self-confidence, emotions, communication, relationships, personal boundaries, consent, sexual and reproductive health, and violence and harassment prevention. The organization plans to support club animators and provide a suitable framework for the establishments. Former beneficiaries of Femina World programs, known as "alumnies," may also contribute to the animation of these spaces.
According to Fatoumata Bidia Diallo, the idea for the clubs was born out of the organization's interactions with young girls, which revealed a need for safe spaces where they can express themselves freely about their experiences and concerns. The director emphasized that the clubs will not replace parents, health professionals, or specialized structures, but rather complement their roles and provide guidance when necessary.
The Clubs Femina will offer young girls a regular space to express themselves, share experiences, ask questions, and develop useful skills for their personal and professional lives. The organization aims to establish a network of clubs in schools and universities, with the ambition of enabling young girls to participate in this dynamic themselves.
Femina World plans to progressively develop the network of clubs, with the goal of empowering young girls to take their place in society. The organization believes that by providing a supportive environment, young girls can build confidence, learn, and grow.
The launch of Clubs Femina is part of Femina World's efforts to support the education and empowerment of young girls in Guinea. The organization has been working with young girls in the country, identifying their needs and developing programs to address them.
As the initiative moves forward, Femina World aims to create a lasting impact on the lives of young girls in Guinea, providing them with the tools and support they need to succeed. The organization remains committed to its mission of promoting the well-being and empowerment of young girls in the country.
