The Adolescent Girls Toolkit for Iraq is a collection of learning sessions and tools designed to empower adolescent girls from IDP, Refugee and Host communities in Iraq to address key issues on life skills, Reproductive Health, Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Financial Education.
The Toolkit supports implementing partners to set up girl-friendly spaces and carry out girl-focused needs assessments and plan interventions. It contains sections on: reaching adolescent girls - community participation; setting up a programme - outreach; facilitation techniques; GBV case management; how to use the girls’ curriculum; and a detailed outline of the parts of the girls’ curriculum itself covering trust building, life skills, reproductive health, safety, financial education and leadership. It also contains sessions to be used with mothers of adolescent girls, and end sections with icebreakers and games, monitoring tools and a list of further resources. An overview of tools included in different sections is given on page 8-9.
