From Lincolnshire to London, girls are angry and frustrated about the state of equality
and girls’ rights.
GYROS recently took part in a research project by Plan International to find out about the experiences of girls and young women aged 12 - 21 in the UK today.
"Girls in the UK are telling us loud and clear: they are not experiencing the progress on gender equality they were promised. It remains tough to be a girl wherever you live. But as our report shows, geography still matters, and some places are even tougher than others.
Our research shows that girls don’t feel safe, in public or online, and face relentless pressure to look and act a certain way. They feel unprepared by their education, worried for future job prospects and scared by a rising culture of misogyny.
We cannot let another generation of girls go without realising equality. Together with girls, we can achieve gender equality for this generation. "
