About us
We exist to change what it means to be a girl.
Gender stereotypes limit girls before they've had the chance to decide who they want to be. We're starting that conversation early, with primary school aged kids and the grown-ups who shape their world.
Through bold, joyful events, campaigns and resources, we connect girls and their families with incredible female role models, hands-on workshops and unforgettable activities.
Festival of The Girl is committed to advancing equality and inclusivity for all young people. All our events are safe environments for girls to have fun, try something new, and most importantly; leave with a boost of self confidence.
Find our Inclusivity Statement here, because when we challenge stereotypes and break down barriers to inclusion, every young person benefits.

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.
