In the last episode of Season 2, I am joined by Nikki Giant, the UK Girls’ Rights Strategy and Development Manager at Plan International UK. We talk through a whole host of topics, including girls education, career choices and how to make an informed decision. Nikki chats about the lack of confidence young girls can have and how this can make tackling everyday life a challenge, and gives wonderful advice on how young women shouldn't worry about how others perceive them.

Nikki works to create UK-wide programmes to promote girls’ rights and gender equality with and for adolescent girls. Previously, Nikki was the founder and director of Full Circle Education, a social enterprise supporting children and young people through a range of educational and extra-curricular programmes to raise aspirations, attainment and school attendance. She was also the founder of a sister organisation, Girls Circle, which aims to educate, elevate and empower girls and young women across the UK.

Nikki is the author of four educational books produced by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, exploring themes related to girl bullying, young people’s social and emotional development and e-safety.
