The Girls Network
What They Do
Charly and Becca were secondary school teachers in North West London when they witnessed the multiple barriers facing girls in their classrooms:
The pressure to conform to ideals
Limited confidence and self-belief
A lack of professional role models who are women in their networks
They established a one-to-one mentoring scheme for 30 girls in 2013, based on research showing that conversations and personal relationships could have a big impact on challenging stereotypes and expectations.
They believed that the girls needed greater access to opportunities, but also the confidence to seize those opportunities and the skills to thrive in them.
