Girls For Girls Portugal Impact Report
Girls For Girls (G4G) was born in in Harvard Kennedy School in 2017. A group of their public administration post-graduate women leaders recognized that women are held back from leadership positions around the world. To close this gap, they developed a series of modules aimed at girls and young women.
In Portugal, Girls For Girls works to address systemic and self-imposed barriers to women’s leadership by empowering young women to embrace leadership opportunities and roles in both the private and public sectors.
