Abstract
I think one of the main turning points for me and my interests in this (feminist) group was when we got loads of the year nine girls (age 13–14) in and we were talking about the normalized cat-calling and the skirt being lifted up and you kind of think ‘that happened to me too’. And they’re these thirteen year old little girls and it’s really sad and it’s so common that you just kind of blank it out. But when you see these young girls quite petrified and upset by things, it really sets off a little fire in you and it shouldn’t be tolerated. (Stella, Parkland School, Focus Group) I think that girls have this taught thing to be kind of quiet and if we are upset … if something’s happened to us that we are not happy about we can’t really talk about it we just carry on and I think you kind of realize that when girls are given a platform or even a class room where they can talk about things and they are safe then how much people feel they can say, and that’s important. (Anna, year 11, Parkland School, Focus Group)
