The State of Girls’ Rights in the UK 2024 report, which was released last week, explored factors affecting the lives of girls and young women such as education, poverty, health, violence, and voice.
‘Over half told us they are uncertain and anxious about their future,’ Kathleen Spencer Chapman of Plan International UK, tells Metro. ‘Society has been increasingly telling girls that they can be and do anything, but they are frustrated and still held back by outdated stereotypes and unfair expectations.’
Spencer Chapman says that long standing challenges that girls have faced for decades like gender stereotypes and impossible standards, are being compounded by newer issues like ‘misogyny, discrimination, and bullying.’
