Faced by girls today

Let’s see together what are the real challenges that girls face in their everyday life, through the research carried out by the Twogether project and Openous.

Self-Confidence
0 %

Between the ages of 8-14, girls’ self-confidence drops by 30%.

Social Pressure
0 %

Almost all girls (89%) believe they are under pressure to conform to the way they are supposed to feel and act.

Self-Image
0 %

Over 90% of girls (ages 10-13) wish school could teach them how to appreciate the diversity of each person and how to feel good about their bodies

Leadership Skills
0 %

A third of girls who don’t want to be leaders attribute their lack of motivation to fear of being laughed at, of making others angry with them, of seeming bossy, or of not being liked by other people.

Last month, the psychosocial empowerment training program of our organization entitled “Twogether” was completed. The program involved teenage girls aged 12-17 from various schools in Athens and women aged 18-25 who undertook the education of the former. The action took place at the 8th Lyceum of Athens and was divided into 4 skills development workshops in the months of October and November. The aim was the psychosocial education of the girls and the development of leadership skills, which emerged through discussion and experiential exercises on various topics, such as self-esteem, social media, body image and others. Specifically, the young women (18-25 years old) were trained by Openous and turned into “Leaders” to guide the teenage girls (12-17 years old) on this journey.

Στο παραπάνω βίντεο τα έφηβα κορίτσια ενσαρκώνουν τις διάφορες φωνές που ακούγονται έξω στην κοινωνία και λένε στερεοτυπικές φράσεις που τις προβληματίζουν. Έπειτα, εμφανίζονται οι “Leaders” τους και δίνουν απαντήσεις σε αυτές τις φράσεις, δείχνοντας στα κορίτσια πώς να τις αμφισβητούν, να τις αποδομούν και να απαντούν με δύναμη και θάρρος. Παράλληλα, αποτυπώνεται και η εμπειρία των έφηβων κοριτσιών μέσα από το Πρόγραμμα, καθώς μοιράζονται όσα έμαθαν και βίωσαν στις συναντήσεις, ενώ ταυτόχρονα αναφέρουν και τις δικές τους σκέψεις ως προς τα έμφυλα στερεότυπα και τα προβλήματα που προκύπτουν καθημερινά. Έτσι, πρόκειται για ένα βίντεο που αναδεικνύει τη δύναμη του μαζί και την αξία της ενδυνάμωσης και της αλληλοϋποστήριξης, δημιουργώντας μία κοινότητα ασφάλειας, δύναμης και αγάπης που ελπίζουμε να μεγαλώνει όλο και πιο πολύ.

The action was implemented within the framework of the Action “Social Protection Network of Athens – Open Social Net”, which is co-financed by the EP. “ATTICA 2014-2020” and the European Social Fund (OPS code 5074888).
