NEW FEMINITY Football is a typical example of men’s sport which became like that due to accidental and imagined reasons. Football is equally accessible regardless of age, gender, income, marital status, etc. Without requiring any statements, women's football has become a perfect manifestation of women's leadership and community’s support. |
GIRLPOWER
GirlPower has been providing systematic support to girl-children, young girls and women for eight years by creating a tolerant, inclusive, and safe environment in which they can pursue their sporting dreams, find their calling, as well as support a hobby after work.
This is especially important now, when thousands of women are facing an unprecedented crisis.
That is why, on the one hand, GirlPower Europe makes every effort to continue a training regime as usual in the new season, while on the other, it focuses on social programmes, creating new opportunities for young females to play football and, through football, assisting other projects aimed at protecting women's rights.
Because, in today's world, one of the most difficult challenges is to create a community in which women of all ages, united by shared values, can support one another and find new meaning and support.
Therefore, we will not only support young girls and women in the current situation, but also assist to mentor the next generation of girls, shaping new values in them.

IMPACT EFFECT Developing critical skills for girl-children and young girls Classical education methods for girls in school and in society do not develop qualities such as courage, teamwork, leadership skills, creativity, or other important «boy» skills. Girls are raised in a system that does not assume they should be able to support a family, that education is the beginning of a career, or that they should be able to protect their own interests. At the same time, up to 30% of women in different regions raise children alone, without husbands, and the average income for women is 30% lower than that of men for the same work. Often, this happens because women accept lower salaries. Simply because they haven't honed the skills that enable men to fight for their rights. Because of this, many women work in several low paying jobs to support their children. Football can help girls develop these essential qualities and skills — bravery in making decisions, strategic thinking, creativity, teamwork, bravery and motivation. Girls learn the boundaries of their bodies, stop being scared of being pushed or feel embarrassed to push someone. These skills are relevant during childhood, but they might be even more important for adults. |
BOARD OF TRUSTEES GIRLPOWER KIDS There are so many incredible female footballers in the world, convincing us that we are on the right track, that our movement is more than just a sport; it is a horizon of new opportunities, where knowledge, beauty, and joy have a place. But so far, professional women's football is not very popular, and female footballers are still becoming role models for girls. That's why we have created the Guardian Council for GirlPower Kids. Our guardians help the young girls who train at GirlPower develop outside of football by learning new things, meeting heroes from different fields, growing, and developing. The guardians also take part in the activities of GirlPower and the events organised by our partners. |
OUR PROJECTS
PROJECT ABOUT SPORT, ABOUT OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES AND HAVING OPPORTUNITIES 1. CAMP «CHANCE» In June, we announced the launch of the project «Chance». It's a ten-day Girl Scouts' Camp group in Moscow where girls no one has ever heard of not only get a trial with big football clubs, but also start a professional career and become stars. We have received more than 400 applications from girls aged 16-20, most of whom are from low-income families living in towns and villages. They play football and aspire to become professional female footballers. Throughout their lives, they played in the backyard, in the local football department together with the boys, or even in the local football team, and aspired that one day they would have a chance to play in the big field for a big club. After having studied videos of the trials performed by the girls, we selected 20 girls from different cities and brought them to the camp group. |
