Girls don’t feel safe at school, online or on public transport.
Girlguiding’s latest survey has found that in the past year, 68% of girls have changed their everyday behaviour to avoid sexual harassment. They’re cautious about what they do, what they say and where they go. The actions girls are taking to stay safe have become normalised.
The experiences they’re having are limiting their lives and their potential. And this can have a detrimental impact on their confidence, mental health and wellbeing.
We’ve signed Girlguiding’s open letter to the prime minister, calling for an end to misogyny to make the UK a safer, fairer place for girls.

NCWGB met with Girlguiding recently and we are working together to support girls.
