Girls develop perceptions about gender and equality from a young age.
We may be more vocal about our drive for equal opportunities as we grow older, but that doesn’t mean young girls don’t have the same thoughts and feelings.
We asked 10 girls, who range in age from six to 25, to explain what feminism means to them – and the answers were inspiring.
If anything, it shows that you are never too young to call yourself a feminist.
Six-year-old Lola told HuffPost UK: “It means sharing, so if a lady has two and a man has four, we have to share it.
“So what we do is, we would have to take one from the man and give it to the lady, so they both have three.”
Holly, 12, told us that for her, feminism means women have the same rights as men.
“Feminism means for women and men to be equal, treated the same, and to be given the same things,” she said.
“I don’t understand why men shouldn’t be treated better or given more just because they are not a woman.”
