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] They have been supported by many bands and artists, including Peace,[1] Slaves,[5][6] Wolf Alice[7] Circa Waves,[8] and The Zangwills[9] and have been featured by Time Out,[10] NME,[11][3] Dr Martens[12] and Skinnydip London.
