Maisie Williams: Changing perceptions of the phrase '#LikeAGirl'

Actress Maisie Williams, best known for her role as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones is helping adolescent girls build self-confidence whilst going through puberty.  With an estimated 50 million girls around the world reaching puberty each year and experiencing transformative changes as they transition into womanhood, statistics show that over half lose their confidence, which, in many cases, never returns. 89% feel there are pressures for girls to confirm to the way they are supposed to feel and act, with 79% of girls who believe society put them in boxes, feel their confidence would be higher if there was less pressure.   Maisie, 18 knows what it’s like to grow up fast, filming with the Game of Thrones cast before its launch in 2011 when she was just 13 years old.
