Girls' Attitudes Survey 2019

About this report
Girlguiding's annual survey of over 2,000 girls and young women aged 7–21 across the UK explores their attitudes on environmental action, access to play and sport, life online and media pressures, bullying, and skills and education. Key findings include that 88% feel it is urgent to do more to protect the environment, 79% have experienced bullying or unacceptable behaviours, and 64% of those aged 11–21 feel there is too much pressure on exam performance. Only 21% of girls say they receive the support they need to manage exam-related stress, and many face barriers to safe outdoor spaces and equitable careers advice.
