Plan International Nigeria has announced a new call for organisations to join Girls’ Tick, a girl-verified digital directory designed to connect adolescent girls and young women to safe and trusted services across Nigeria. The initiative aims to improve access to health, education, legal aid, protection, and skills development, using a system where girls themselves decide which organisations are safe and reliable.
According to the organisation, many girls still struggle to find dependable support in their communities. Plan International Nigeria stated that Girls’ Tick is meant to change this by building a network of verified services that girls can access with confidence. The group explained that organisations can either register directly or be referred by someone who knows their work, helping to expand a national map of safe and girl-friendly services.
In a message to stakeholders, Plan International Nigeria said, “Girls deserve access to safe, trusted, and girl-friendly spaces. Plan International Nigeria is building Girls’ Tick, a girl verified digital directory that connects adolescent girls and young women to organisations they can trust.” The organisation also encouraged groups working in key sectors to participate, noting, “If your organisation supports girls in areas such as health, education, skills development, legal aid, or protection, we want you on board.”
Girls’ Tick promises visibility, credibility, and inclusion in a girl-led verification system. Registered groups will also be able to connect with wider networks focused on girls’ rights and community safety. Plan International Nigeria highlighted that eligible groups include girl-led initiatives, NGOs, CSOs, youth networks, and safe-space providers offering health, SRHR, education, and protection services.
The registration process includes scanning the provided QR code, submitting organisational details, and completing verification by the Girl Verification Committees. Approved organisations will receive a Girls’ Tick badge and a spot in the national directory.
Registration is available via this Link.
