Peer education

It has taught me to be confident in myself, so that I can go out and make other girls more confident.
Emily, 16, peer educator

Girls trust their peers - that's why peer education works

We train our young members to lead fun and interactive sessions on important topics. We ask girls what issues they want to talk about and create resources that are relevant to them, for example on mental well-being and body confidence.
