First Lady Launches Puberty Program for Girls | Seychelles News

The First Lady of Seychelles has launched “Welcome to Puberty,” a groundbreaking program empowering young girls nationwide with vital knowledge and support during puberty. Starting with 49 students at English River Secondary School, the initiative aims to reach 600 girls, each receiving a tailored resource pack covering physical, emotional, and social changes. A collaborative effort between the Office of the First Lady, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Health, it combats stigma by normalizing puberty and fostering self-respect. A teacher’s inspiring story of overcoming an unplanned teen pregnancy and building a career served as a powerful motivator, while the Minister of Education reinforced that every girl holds unique value—and the right to make informed, empowered choices.
