Parents and mental health awareness!
As parents and adults, it’s important to learn about mental health, not just for you, but for your children too.
When parents understand mental health, they can recognize when something isn’t right and know how to help.
#MentalHealthAwareness

💡 Healthy minds, strong performance!
As the final term intensifies, remember that heightened academic pressure doesn’t always produce the best results.
Support learners’ emotional and psychological wellbeing to help them approach their final exams with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
Women who suffer multiple forms of discrimination face a higher risk of violence and are more vulnerable to its consequences.

Girls aren’t just surviving, they’re leading!
From climate disasters and violence to conflict zones, girls are not just survivors — they’re leading the way.
It’s time the world saw them as they are: leaders!

@goodschoolsguideuk.bsky.social
It’s time we 📢amplify, not overshadow girls’ voices.
Every celebrated woman leader was once a girl with a voice, a dream and potential.
She rose because someone listened, believed, protected, and created space for her to grow, heal, and lead.
Let’s listen, uplift, and stand beside them.
Girl leaders flourish when their unique personalities, cultures, lived experiences, and boundless potential are celebrated.
When we recognise girls as changemakers and nurture them with education, mentorship, and safe, inclusive spaces—they rise with hope, ready to lead even through crises.
Let girls bloom
The girl I am stands tall—empowered, radiant, fearless, and free from the shadows of violence. Imagine a world where every girl blossoms with the same strength, leading change and rising above every challenge. Together, we can make this vision bloom.
#IDGC2025
#GirlsOnTheFrontlines

Protect children from Sexual violence!
Adults must hold abusers accountable and educate children in age-appropriate ways to recognize and report abuse.
The burden should not lie on children.
