Girls: Easy language

Girls and career

School will soon be over.
What will happen after that?

This can be very confusing.
Now you have to inform yourself well.

Parents are happy to help with this.
The website klischee-frei also helps.

National Girls' Working Group

The State Working Group for Girls represents the interests of girls in North Rhine-Westphalia.
They stand up for the rights of girls.

What exactly do they do?
You can read about what they do on their website.
The website is in difficult language.

Youth emergency mail

Corona was a difficult time for young people.
Many fell ill.
They have depression.

Depression means:
Someone with depression has little joy in life.
Sometimes no joy at all.
He is listless or sad.
Then you say someone is depressed.

Or they have an eating disorder:
This means:
They eat very little or almost nothing.
Or they eat a lot and throw up afterwards.

Or they have an anxiety disorder.
This means:
They are afraid of people or situations.
Then they prefer to stay alone.
Or they no longer go out.

You need help.
Help is available online.
The website is not completely in plain language.

Anyone who wants to get married must want to.
Both must want it.
No one may be forced to get married.

But this will still happen in 2025.
It is forbidden in Germany.
No one under the age of 18 is allowed to marry here.
Or be forced to marry.

Mostly girls are affected.
They then often travel to their home country.

That doesn't have to be the case.
There is help.
They help with questions and tell you where there is protection.
You can come to me.
Or contact the "Specialist centre against forced marriage".
