This year our Girls’ Attitudes Survey reveals how far girls have to go to stay safe in a world where they face misogyny, abuse and harassment – when they’re out, at school and online.
In the past year, 68% of girls have changed their everyday behaviour to avoid sexual harassment. The experiences they’re having are limiting their lives and their potential. And this has a detrimental impact on their confidence, mental health and wellbeing.
Headline findings from this year's report include:
Most girls (62%) say they feel safer when they're just with girls.
More than 2 in 3 girls and young women aged 11-21 (70%) have supported another girl or young woman who may have experienced sexism or misogyny.
1 in 10 girls aged 11-16 have missed school to avoid sexual harassment
56% of girls and young women aged 11-18 agree that girls have to be careful about appearing too self-confident in front of boys for fear of abuse or mean comments
More than 1 in 4 young girls feel sad most days or every day, compared to 1 in 10 in 2015
More than half of 11-21-year-olds (58%) want more support in building their skills and confidence so that they can become leaders of the future
