We believe in a world where gender stereotypes
no longer limit kids' potential
With accessible global festivals and campaigns the non-profit Festival of The Girl was created to empower millions of young girls to breakdown stereotypes with confidence, while equipping parents and carers with the tools to guide them.
To get a feel for our festivals take a look at this short video from our last festival.
IMPACT
MISSION
We exist because we want to change what it means to be a girl.
​
We want to remove the limitations gender stereotypes place on girls. And we want to start this conversation with primary school aged kids, and their grown-ups.
​
We've created global interactive events, campaigns and resources to give girls and their families access to incredible female role models, workshops and activities.
​
Our headline festivals and pop-ups take place every October coinciding with UN's International Day of the Girl Child and include a session created for girls with special educational needs and disabilities as well as our pioneering Festival of The Girl Awards. All our events are safe environments for girls to have fun, try something new, and most importantly; leave with a boost of self confidence.

INCLUSIVITY STATEMENT
Festival of The Girl is committed to advancing equality and promoting inclusivity for all young people, regardless of their identity or gender expression.
We are passionate about inspiring girls to believe in their futures and the programme is designed to provide female role models for young people. We believe challenging gender stereotypes and breaking down barriers to inclusion benefits young people of any gender.
While we use the term “girl” to address the barriers that girls face at a young age, our mission is inclusive of trans and non-binary communities, and we encourage young people of any gender to take part.
VIRTUAL HUB
Over the last few years we've been able to bring together inspiring people from all different walks of life who have created over 80 activity videos for your kids. Find our full virtual hub on our YouTube channel, here.
