The problems of girls and young women are often overlooked by politics and society. On the occasion of the recent World Day of Girls, the Amazon Association is urgently drawing attention to this with the ‘Ask me!’ campaign.
Consultations and workshops organized by the association show time and time again that many girls are under enormous pressure. Statements such as ‘I can’t talk to anyone about my fears’, ‘I no longer use public transport because I keep hearing stupid statements’ or ‘I don’t dare go out alone at night’ reflect the stress that young people experience. women struggle every day. Particularly frightening: according to current research, around 22 percent of girls suffer from depression – and one in three women experience physical or sexual violence from the age of 15.
