RESEARCH AND PILOTS
We work with schools, youth organisations, and community centres to carry out collaborative research and pilot projects on experiences of sexism and misogyny, centring the voices of women, girls, and gender-diverse people affected by gendered harm.
This can be tailored to different organisational settings. Findings can be used to inform further training, shape briefing papers, and guide policy recommendations.
If you would like to collaborate on a research project or a pilot, please get in touch.

pRIMARY SCHOOL pILOT PROJECT 2026
Since we launched in 2024, our projects have been primarily focussed on ages 11+, within youth club, secondary school, and sixth form college settings.
However, invited by the Southmead Development Trust and Badock’s Wood Primary School to work with a small group of their year 6 girls, we reimagined our intervention for a younger cohort.
In the Spring of 2026, we had our first session and ‘The Discombobulated Girls’ were formed. We spent the next seven Wednesday afternoons with the eight girls, exploring themes such as friendship, gender, harm, wellbeing, safety, and freedom.

If you work with primary school age students who may benefit from understanding the everyday harms of misogyny in a safe, trauma-informed way which builds joy and community, please get in touch.
Girls and Safety: Research briefing Paper 2025
In 2024, Rae completed her Master’s Degree in Women and Child Abuse (MA). Her dissertation focused on how young women and girls experienced their safety and safety work. This briefing paper examines the key themes illuminated by the focus groups that Rae facilitated as part of this dissertation research.
The experiences shared by the girls who participated in these focus groups inspired the inception of Girlhood Reclaimed. Their voices, and the voices of all the girls and children of marginalised genders we have since worked with, shape our training, workshops, and approaches.
It is our hope that this paper provides you, the reader, with greater insight into the importance of Girlhood' Reclaimed’s work and mission.
