Smashing career stereotypes
We want to break down barriers to opportunities for young women, so they can smash career stereotypes and be anything they want to be.
Young women are more likely to be paid less than the minimum wage. They are more likely to be offered a zero hours contract. Some young women will have to choose between eating and paying for childcare.
- 57% of young women who can’t take up a job say it’s because they can’t afford childcare
- 52% of young women say work has hurt their mental health
- 37% of young women on low or no pay report having depression
We want to unlock young women’s potential and give them a chance to contribute. We want to ensure they have the skills and support to succeed and raise their voices.
