Description
The National Women’s History Museum’s Young Women and Girls’ Aspiration Report, including a survey of more than 1,100 girls and young women (ages 13-27) across the U.S., paints a stark picture: young women and girls face challenges in economic opportunity, education, health care and politics, and they are calling for real representation across the board. Despite their ambitions and determination, they see a system that continues to shut them out, leaving them underrepresented in nearly every sphere that shapes their future. The report sheds light on the challenges young women and girls continue to face and the urgent changes they need to ensure they are not sidelined for another century. The findings expose the deep gaps in representation and opportunity, challenging the misconception that gender equality has already been achieved. “Representation shapes possibility. If we continue to sideline half the population, we are choosing to be weaker as a society,” said Frédérique Irwin, president & CEO of the National Women’s History Museum. “Our Young Women and Girls’ Aspiration Report is not just about awareness—it’s a blueprint for action.”
