Make Space for Girls

Create parks which are more inclusive for all

Better spaces can promote healthier lifestyles and add social value. And spaces that work better for teenage girls can work better for many other groups.

Understand what teenage girls want from parks and public spaces

Skate parks and MUGAs only work for a small proportion of young people – a wider range of facilities is much more inclusive.

Recognise the barriers to change

Lack of information and policies that don’t recognise the issues both embed unequal treatment for teenage girls into practice. Engagement, research and equality law provide tools to overcome this.

Make sure teenage girls are heard

Reaching girls and other minoritized genders can be difficult but their voices are essential for change.
