Posture for Change
She Stands is a movement founded on the idea that girls and women should never have to apologise for taking up space. We raise awareness around the impacts of gender stereotyping on posture and create trainings to shape a more gender equal society.
Our mission is for females to grow up feeling at home in their bodies with the confidence to stand tall and own their space - from young girls in school to women in the workplace.
What do WE STAND for?
We believe in a society where every woman and girl feels at home in her body.
Where women and girls never feel the need to apologise for taking up space.
We want all females to be fully seen and heard, to know how to stand up for themselves and other women.
We believe posture is key to this.
Is SHE STANDS for you?
SHE STANDS is for women who want to create change, for themselves or those around them.
SHE STANDS supports any woman or girl that has ever felt unconfident, discriminated against, unhappy or unsafe in their bodies.
SHE STANDS is for parents and carers who want their daughter to grow up confident, happy and in a more equal society than they did.

Who we work with
Abi says: "There are so many things in life we can't control - but we can control how we hold our bodies and how we feel about ourselves. Good posture can help us feel confident, own our space and move towards a more gender equal society."
