"I was generally aware that there was an issue with girls' mental health...but the reality of the hard-hitting numbers appalled me, perhaps because I'm an engineer and data speaks. Girls (and women) are asked to step-up and be strong and courageous, and yes, as adults we need to help them do that. But we need the ecosystem around them -- policy makers, schools, youth organizations -- to courageously step-up and proactively address these issues."
- Nancy Dawes, President of BEWEL (Buckeye Engineering Women in Executive Leadership), Co-Chair of Ohio: State of the Girl Report, and long-time Girl Scout volunteer
We partnered with the University of Cincinnati Evaluation Services Center and The Center for Community Solutions to conduct the research and create this report. Our findings will help us, and the entire community, better understand girls, so we can ignite change. The more we understand their needs, the better equipped we will be to advocate for them and create meaningful, lasting change.
