Back in Lockdown: Girls’ and Young Women’s Hopes and Fears for the Future

For over a decade, Girlguiding’s research has captured girls’ and young women’s lives, highlighting their views, experiences, and the challenges they face.

Through this research, girls’ and young women’s voices reveal how they’re coping with the profound changes that have occurred in their lives over the past year. They share the things they’re finding hard, what they’re concerned about and their hopes for the future. This research builds on Girl Guiding's previous survey with girls and young women in May 2020 which looked at how they were coping in the first lockdown and at the start of the pandemic.
