Rights Here, Rights Now
Workplaces remain unfair - especially for young women. Laws exist to prevent discrimination and unfair pay, but a lack of enforcement means rogue employers are let off the hook while young women pay the price. Join us to demand laws work in practice – not just on paper

Our impact
Last year we supported over 5,000 young women. 82% of the young women we coached said their confidence and self-belief improved. Over half increased their incomes after our coaching and job application feedback.
22000
We have supported over 22,000 young women with coaching and job application feedback since 2014.
10000
We have built a community of more than 10,000 young women and people of marginalised genders and given them opportunities to have their say.
Talking to my coach helped me gain clarity about what I wanted to do, and it gave me a lot of confidence.
