The Girls Against is a non-profit organisation formed in 2015 by Hannah Camilleri and four friends, Anni Cameron, Anna Cowan, Ava Cadenhead and Bea Bennister. Camilleri's experience of sexual assault at a Peace gig in Glasgow in 2015[1] prompted the young women to set up Girls Against to shine a spotlight on sexual assault of young women at gigs, and support victims in sharing and recovering from their experiences.[2]
By 2016, Girls Against had over 80 international representatives actively promoting the campaign by communicating with the press, venues and bands themselves.[3]
In March 2020, Girls Against were featured on the BBC in an interview with Isy Suttie for We Can Change the World.[4]
