A charity is collaborating with a group of graduate students who want to reach out to teenage girls in Hulme on ways of improving Hulme Park.<\/p>\n
Make Space for Girls<\/a> is a charity which fights for facilities and public spaces for teenage girls.<\/p>\n Stating definitively that “[p]arks, play equipment and public spaces for older children and teenagers are currently designed for the default male”, Make Space for Girls says that the absence of providing facilities for teenage girls has repercussions for how physically active girls are, and that this impacts their health in later life as well as their sense of belonging in public spaces.<\/p>\n Hello #Manchester<\/a>. We are working with a group of grad students from @ManMetUni<\/a> who want to talk to teenage girls in #Hulme<\/a> about what they would want in parks. Does anyone have any contacts or help? RTs much appreciated. Ta! pic.twitter.com\/olTtep9Wai<\/a><\/p>\n \t\u2014 Make Space for Girls (@MakeSpaceforGi1) February 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
