While sessions do have an outline, they rely less on a standardised structure, and place emphasis on personal development over formal achievement.Non-competitiveAt their heart, our activities are designed to develop self-esteem; the goals that GFS girls and young women achieve are personal and appropriate to them, and we discourage comparison of status and ability to others.Girl-ledWe offer girls and young women the opportunity to contribute to planning and delivery of activities based on what they enjoy and the issues they feel are relevant to them. This is great for building confidence and helping girls see themselves as potential leaders.Feminist We are a proudly feminist organisation in that we support and advocate for women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. We are committed to tackling exclusion and lack of access to opportunities due to gender inequality.
