Here the ‘NO’ behind Inspiring Girls

#ThankYouForTheNo is our campaign for every woman who was underestimated, told she couldn’t, and did it anyway. Because sometimes a “no” becomes the moment you decide to prove what you’re capable of.

Our founder, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, knows that feeling well: “I have been told ‘no’ so many times that I have honestly lost count.” Ten years ago, Miriam was told she couldn’t build an international campaign. Today, Inspiring Girls reaches girls across 40 countries. Her answer to every “no” since? “Watch me.” 👀

#ThankYouForTheNo

#ThankYouForTheNo celebrates what can happen when “no” isn’t the end of the story. It’s for every girl and woman who was underestimated, told she wasn’t ready, wasn’t good enough, or that what she wanted simply wasn’t for someone like her.

Not because the “no” was right. But because she didn’t let it decide what happened next. She kept going. She tried again. She proved them wrong. She did it anyway.

Fundraising highlight

Thanks to your support, last week we raised over £12,000

But reaching our target doesn’t mean every girl has been reached. Every extra pound helps more girls build the confidence to hear “no” and keep going.

By becoming a monthly donor, you can help girls discover careers they never knew existed, meet inspiring female role models and build the confidence and skills to pursue their ambitions.

A small gift each month can make a lasting difference to a girl's future.
