At puberty, girls’ confidence plummets.
A recent UK Always Confidence & Puberty Study reveals that 64% of young women aged 16 and 24 loose confidence during puberty.
Meanwhile, 94% succumb to the fear of failure, and 67% admitted to avoiding new things altogether during this time.
The cause? Societal pressure to succeed and to be perfect.
Being a girl is tough and that's why we've teamed up with Always and The Shona Project to bring you Rise Heroes, where we'll celebrate girls aged 12-16 who inspire others with their bravery, creativity and resilience.
We’re selecting one girl from each of the five counties to take part in our Rise Heroes panel at Rise – a special event celebrating International Day of The Girl at Carrickpherish Library, Waterford.
Always, the leader in global feminine care is on a mission to stop this drop in confidence by changing how girls perceive setbacks and encouraging them to embrace failure as part of learning and growth.
Failure – and perseverance through it – is key to building girls' confidence, empowering them to keep growing and KEEP GOING!
