FLORIDA GIRLS DATABOOK
We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the Florida Girls Databook, a groundbreaking study that puts
Florida’s 1.3 million "at-promise" girls front and center.
For the first time, we have the data to highlight the experiences and challenges "at-promise" girls face in their communities, homes, and schools.
This pivotal moment will help us build a brighter future by informing action and change at the local and state level.
WHAT'S INSIDE
The Florida Girls Databook is based on extensive research and surveys, providing a detailed snapshot of the realities faced by girls across the state. From educational challenges to the pressures of mental health and trauma, this Databook uncovers the lived experiences of "at-promise" girls. The findings bring to light how we can better support girls, helping them achieve their fullest potential and break through barriers to success.
KEY FINDINGS

65% of Florida girls live with distress or crisis circumstances.
-
More than 58% of girls report feeling sad or depressed daily.
-
44% of Florida girls have thought about suicide in the past year.
