About Us
Teenage Network is a feminist-led nonprofit rooted in the belief that adolescent girls are not problems to be fixed, but leaders with power, voice, and agency.
Our work is guided by the values of justice, dignity, and solidarity. We challenge harmful gender norms that limit girls’ education, health, and freedom, and we work to transform the systems and policies that shape their lives.
We believe in girls’ leadership, not as a future promise but as a present reality. Through community-based programs, research-driven advocacy, and policy engagement, we have supported girls to stay in school, influenced education and sexual violence response frameworks, and expanded opportunities for out-of-school adolescent mothers and married girls.
At Teenage Network, girls’ lived experiences lead our solutions. We listen first, act collectively, and push for structural change. So girls are not only protected, but empowered to lead change in their communities and beyond.
We believe adolescent girls are experts of their own lives.
Their voices, experiences, and leadership must shape the programs, policies, and systems that affect them.
We believe gender inequality is systemic, not accidental.
Harmful gender norms, violence, and exclusion from education are produced by structures that can and must be changed.
We believe education is a right, not a privilege.
Every girl, including out-of-school adolescent mothers and married girls deserve safe, inclusive, and gender-responsive learning environments.
We believe survivor-centered responses save lives and futures.
Schools and institutions must protect girls, respond to sexual violence with dignity and accountability, and prioritize healing over silence.
We believe feminism is about justice, not charity.
Real change comes from redistributing power, challenging harmful systems, and standing in solidarity with girls and communities.
We believe girls’ leadership is now.
When girls lead, policies shift, communities transform, and futures expand
To facilitate access to quality education and health for adolescents, especially girls as key drivers of sustainable development.
We envision a world where every adolescent is empowered to take leadership roles in the society

- Health
- Leadership and Governance
Through evidence-based programming, adoption of local solutions and community participation, we believe that our ultimate goal of empowering adolescents to take leadership roles in the society can be achieved if:

Help keep an adolescent mother in school.
In Nigeria, 1 in 5 Girls between age 15-19 are already mothers or pregnant with their first child (NDHS, 2018). These large number of girls are out-of-school and unskilled. Without education, girls will be unable to secure decent jobs or develop their leadership skills. They will have to depend on others for livelihood, which places them at risk of gender-based violence and further increases the gender-inequality gap.
Children of uneducated mothers are also less likely to go to school. Support us today to eradicate illiteracy in two generations!
