"Merchants' Academy Secondary are incredibly grateful for the work that Girlhood Reclaimed has done with our year 9 students this academic year. The students shared that this was their favourite intervention all year. They said they felt empowered and confident. Girlhood Reclaimed focuses on making students feeling secure and creating safe spaces for difficult conversations. Girlhood Reclaimed believes in the power of women supporting women. They not only focus on tackling misogyny and other injustices, but they also help cultivate beautiful friendship and great social skills in a group setting. Girlhood Reclaimed are doing radical work and Merchants' Academy Secondary are grateful and excited to be a part of that journey."

What we offer
We believe tackling misogyny requires a united effort across the entire school community. Our whole-school package is designed to work collaboratively with staff, students, and leadership teams to create lasting change.
Our approach offers:
Focus groups: Safe spaces for girls, students of marginalised genders, and women staff to share their experiences of misogyny.
Comprehensive reporting: A full report for senior leadership teams, offering remedies, expertise, and practical guidance to deepen overall awareness of how misogyny is manifesting in the school and drive meaningful remedial action.
Teacher training: A 2-hour CPD session for all staff, grounded in contextual insight, equipping educators with strategies to disrupt and challenge misogyny and its harms.
Whole-school assemblies: Engaging 1-hour assemblies for all year groups, exploring misogyny and the wider systems that perpetuate it.
Project-based workshops: Creative and empowering workshops for girls and students of marginalised genders, exploring feminist activism and celebrating joyful girlhood.
Our project work includes workshops designed to create sense-making spaces for young women, girls, and young people of marginalised genders. These spaces support participants in understanding and communicating their experiences of misogyny, sexism, and sexual harassment.
They provide a collective environment of sharing and support, alongside opportunities to engage with feminist activism. Together, we explore what it might look like to reclaim joy in girlhood and how we can take action to make that a reality. This approach helps to undo the harm caused by sexist and misogynistic narratives that dominate everyday life.
We provide training for teachers, youth workers, and other professionals to better understand and respond to misogyny, sexism, and sexual harassment within their specific contexts.
Our training deepens awareness of misogyny, its harms, and its impact on young women, girls, and young people of marginalised genders. It also offers safe, non‑judgemental, and reflective spaces for you and your team to understand, engage and move forward together.
We work with youth-based organisations to carry out collaborative research and insights projects on experiences of sexism and misogyny, centering the voices of young women, girls and young people of marginalised genders.
This can be tailored to different organisational settings. Findings can be used to inform further training, shape briefing papers, and guide policy recommendations.
