Getting more South Asian girls to enjoy the outdoors is super important for a few reasons according to our young participants: 🌳 Representation Matters: When we see people like us doing cool things outside, it makes us feel like we belong too. By being out there, we show that nature is for everyone, no matter who we are. 🌳Confidence Boost: Exploring the outdoors makes us feel more confident and strong. When we conquer challenges in nature, it helps us tackle challenges in other parts of our lives too. 🌳Healthy Habits: Being outside means we're moving around and being active. It's great for our bodies and minds. It helps us stay healthy and happy. 🌳Nature Learning: When we're outside, we learn a lot about the world around us. We understand how things grow, why animals are important, and how we can take care of our planet. 🌳Creative Spark: Nature is full of beauty and wonders. When we're outside, our imagination goes wild. We can create art, stories, and all sorts of cool things inspired by nature. 🌳Future Leaders: If more South Asian girls embrace the outdoors, we can become leaders who protect our environment. We'll have a big say in making sure our planet stays awesome. 🌳New Friends: Exploring the outdoors lets us meet new people and make friends. We can share experiences, learn from each other, and make memories together. So, when we embrace the outdoors, we're not just having fun – we're changing the world in our own awesome way! 🌳🌼🌸

🚨 Appearance pressures are one of the biggest concerns amongst girls in the UK, Girls are finding their own negative thoughts about their looks to be all consuming.

🚨 Appearance pressures are one of the biggest concerns amongst girls in the UK, and girls are finding their own negative thoughts about their looks to be all consuming. We're urging the new Government to make it a requirement for advertisers, including influencers, to be clear when filters, editing software or artificial intelligence has been used to change or create an image. Our Girls' Attitudes Survey asks over 2,000 girls and young women both inside and outside of Girlguiding how they feel about the pressures facing them today. The full report will be released in October, but our initial findings show girls as young as 7 feel they're held to a different beauty standard than boys of their age, and that they face more appearance-based scrutiny. Girlguiding advocate Erin, aged 16, says: 'The rise in the usage of filters on social media is significantly knocking the confidence of young girls all over the UK. It is clear to see that immediate action is required. It is time for advertisers and content creators to take accountability to ensure that girls of today, and of the future, can be protected from the harm edited images can cause'.

I co founded Rising Together CIC a small grass roots initiative that focuses on empowering under-represented minority groups in the UK, with a special focus on young women and girls. We looked at these stats and decided to be a part of the solution: *Only 14% of girls said they feel happy most of the time. This has declined year on year in 2009 it was 40% (Girl Guiding 2021) *On average young women aged 18 to 29 earned 22% less than their male peers in 2021 (IONS 2021) *53% of under 21s say they've missed out on developing skills for the future during the pandemic (Girl Guiding 2021) Our mission is to uplift and empower minority women and girls by providing them with the necessary skills, opportunities, and resources to excel in various aspects of their lives. Most of our projects are focused in Leicester, if you'd like to collaborate on projects that will empower our young women and girls let me know!
