Too often, girls and young women become visible only when they reach crisis point. Many experience abuse, violence and unhealthy relationships long before they access support. The need for earlier intervention is clear: 25% of girls aged 13–17 report physical violence from an intimate partner, and young women under 25 are more than twice as likely to experience domestic abuse as women over 25. Girls should not have to reach crisis before they receive help. Too many receive support too late

Girls and young women need support that is accessible, trusted and available before challenges escalate into crisis. Through early intervention, trusted relationships and specialist support, Advance helps girls and young women recognise abuse, understand healthy relationships, access help earlier and prevent harm from escalating. We create safe, welcoming environments where they feel seen, heard and supported.
