Thoughts and opinions on female empowerment have been circulating around for a very long time. In the recent years, there have been influxes of girls voicing out their thoughts and standing up for themselves in the world of social media.  In order to provide support and empowerment for female students, some schools in Brunei Darussalam organised ‘Girls’ Talk’ programme to create awareness regarding topics related to female students’ concern. It is also provided as a gesture of assistance for the students’ transitioning from elementary school to secondary school.

The main objectives of this study are to distinguish female students’ perceptions on the programme, to examine school counsellors’ opinions on the programme, and to identify the assistance school counsellors can provide to support and empower the female students. This study utilises one-on-one interviews with three female counsellors and six female students from two different schools in Brunei Darussalam.  This study found that this programme provides female students with good support platform where they could develop their empowerment through the knowledge gained. Besides, the programme offers them with exposure and awareness regarding issues related to behaviour, morality, interpersonal relationships, specific disciplinary cases, and physical health.
