Girl Be Heard creates cutting-edge, cause-related theatre, inspired, written and performed by girls ages 12 to 21, that is thought provoking and demands action. The girls create shows about the issues they care about most, such as bullying, body image, and self-harm, and also takes on issues affecting girls worldwide such as sex trafficking and forced child marriage.
