In Manchester, an inspirational group of Young Leaders is working hard to promote female empowerment through the City Girls project.

For many, Manchester is the home of football and thousands of young people take part in the sport in the city every week.

However, many young girls once they reach their teenage years drop out of the game at twice the rate of boys.

Now, 18-year-old Chiara and a new generation of inspirational female young leaders in Manchester are seeking to tackle this by providing free weekly football sessions for 350 girls across the city.
