Guides lead the way for tomorrow’s women
Irish women are at the forefront of the world’s largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women.
We have come a long way in the past 20 years in reducing gender inequalities in Ireland but there is much work to be done. There is still a significant pay gap. In the private sector men still earn 23% more than women. And when 51% of the population are female it just doesn’t make sense that only 13% of our elected TDs are women.
Our leadership is constantly working towards empowering girls and women to make a positive contribution to their own communities. By fostering leadership skills, the Irish Girl Guides are encouraging the next generation to become the leaders of tomorrow.
With membership numbers rising, The Irish Girl Guides look forward to continuing to enable girls and women of all ages to fulfil their potential as active citizens of Ireland, Europe and the wider world.
