What We Do
Girls’Net is a South African social and multi-media group for girls . We have partnered with our local organisations like 1000 Women 1 Voice , Postcards to Parliament (2022) and Helping Hands of KuilsRivier (2023).At these event Girls’Net used social media to drive awareness to the topic of those events , wrote letters and more . Girls’Net has since been run by one representative who invites young girls in her local network to participate by choosing subjects for discussion . We then do our research and surveys to produce online content to educate our followers.
