The best thing you can ever do yourself, as a girls, it is to realize that you have the power to be anything and everything that you want to be.

Nouhaila (17)

Je viens pour aider, et parce que je veux que - dans le futur - il y ait plus de place pour les femmes et les filles dehors.

Romaiça (16)

Not only for us, also for our moms. There’s no space for them in public space. I think they should not be afraid to get out in the streets.

Luckily I don't have any traumatic experiences. But it’s true that we are often inside. I wonder how we can change things for girls.

I am glad to participate. I love Brussels a lot and Brussels deserves a better image, a better reputation when it’s about safety for girls. That’s where I want to contribute.

Lixole (19)

You do not need to be anyones wingwoman but instead make them be under your wing, cause you got to always be the boss baby.

Romane (20)

We have to democratize places for girls. I am a skater and also at the skatepark there is a lot of aggression. I often experience it.

Selma (18)

Je viens ici pour voir comment ça va évoluer.

Vicky (46)

I am the mommy of a twelve year old skater girl. The skatepark could be much more pleasant and friendly for girls.
