For 10 years, Inspiring Girls has challenged the stereotypes that limit girls' ambitions, reaching 250,000+ girls face-to-face and over 1 million online across 40 countries. Our ambition for the next decade is to achieve 10x the impact, reaching more girls with the confidence, skills and inspiration to challenge expectations and pursue their ambitions without limits. Your support can help make this possible.
By age 6, girls can already be less likely than boys to associate "brilliance" with their own gender. By age 7, children already associate different jobs with men and women, with their career aspirations shaped by gender stereotypes. Girls grow up hearing limits before they discover possibilities. Not always explicitly. Sometimes it's in stereotypes about jobs, leadership, money, science or ambition. Those messages quietly influence what girls believe is available to them.
At Inspiring Girls we focus on connecting girls with women from all walks of life, when girls see and hear from diverse women role models working in different jobs, it challenges gender stereotypes, raises awareness of opportunities, and significantly boosts their self-confidence and aspirations. Inspiring Girls brings these amazing women to schools and events all over the world, ensuring all girls everywhere can dream, believe and achieve their goals.
Our research shows that Inspiring Girls role model sessions actively reduce the impact of gender-based stereotypes and boost the confidence of the girls involved. With your help we could reach even more girls around the world as we continue to work toward a more equitable future for all.
