Girls and Safety: Research briefing Paper 2025

In 2024 Rae completed her MA in Women and Child Abuse. Her dissertation focused on how young women and girls experienced their safety and safety work, and this briefing paper looks at the outcome of the focus groups that Rae delivered as part of this dissertation research.

The knowledge and experiences that the girls in these focus groups shared with Rae have hugely influenced the building of Girlhood Reclaimed, and we hope reading this paper gives you some more insight into why we believe in the importance of the work we are doing at Girlhood Reclaimed.
