Hey Chom,

I have a quick question for you, and you have to promise to keep it 100, shap?

Would you be willing to spill ALL the tea, if it meant helping your fellow sisters get the best info on some important issues like health, sex, well-being and self-care?

I thought so, nje. You're a real one.

So Check It (the deets):

You know Big Sis is big on getting it right when it comes to serving the ghels in Mzansi, neh? This community is strong - and from all our chats with our sisters, we know we all have one common goal; sisters helping sisters, and keeping it real!

Chom, I think I have an opportunity for you to get involved.

Nothing too intense. We just need your voice on some pressing issues affecting South African sisters. The more we know, the better we can help a sister out. We ain't delulu - we know we don't have all the insight - you do. You and the women of Mzansi are the real experts on what goes down in the daily DMs of life in these streets.

Straight talk, the South African team at Big Sis is launching the JiK’iZinto Longitudinal Study (Eish, that's just a fancy word for research), and we low-key need your valuable insights, babes. Your thoughts, your experiences, your ideas - they are crucial in shaping the way we move in the spaces that empower our women.

Make A Real Impact!

Who Can Join The Movement, Babes?

We want to hear from women aged 18 to 22 who know about Big Sis, JiK’iZinto, or Girl Effect. You're who we speak to every day. If you are selected to participate in this initiative, there will be research activities over the next year, which will include:

(1) Completing 4 online surveys

(2) Joining us for 2 to 3 interviews

Why Your Voice Matters, Babes?

This research is all about you! We want to understand how we can improve our programs and your feedback will guide us in refining our resources. We want to make sure our way of working is in line with your needs and aspirations. Together, we can create products that make life easier for sisters all over the world.

Just think about it, fam—when young women like you make some noise, mad-good things happen! Input from women leads to mentorship programs, access to money-smart workshops, and even campaigns that tackle heavy issues like gender-based violence. Your words can change the game for young women across the country, you know?

Your Rights As A Participant

We respect your right to exit at any time throughout this process. You have the right to withdraw from the research at any point, no questions asked. Your comfort and trust are our top priorities. Your safety is number 1, Mntase.

And as a bit of a bonus, as a thank you for your participation Sis, you’ll have a chance to win some exclusive Girl Effect merch throughout the year!
