The International Day of the Girl Child provides an opportunity for all
global citizens, men and women, to support the amazing charities working
hard to improve the lives and opportunities for young women and girls in
the UK and abroad.
It is an honour and a pleasure to be involved in such a great cause. As
a father to a little girl, I’m determined to help ensure we live in a more
egalitarian world where women grow up with equal rights and the same
opportunities that men enjoy.
It is a terrible fact that young women across the globe face terrible
discrimination and unspeakable abuse simply because of their gender.
This means that the true potential of millions of women is never fulfilled
because unjust obstacles are put in their way. We all need to do anything
that we can to change the course of young women’s lives to allow them
to flourish and experience true freedoms so they can achieve their goals.

ounded 54 years ago, Wellbeing of Women is one of
the only charities finding cures and treatments across the
breadth of female reproductive health including pregnan-
cy and childbirth, fertility and IVF, gynaecological cancers,
and overlooked areas like endometriosis, PCOS and the
menopause. With only 2.48% of publicly funded research devoted to
this area, our work is vital. Nearly every routine treatment we take for
granted today has come about thanks to our work.

entrepreneurs we foster today. Not every child will be an
entrepreneur when he or she grows up, but we can inspire
every child to have an entrepreneurial spirit: to lead con-

I never imagined I could achieve. My family were distraught

dreams of starting a business constantly mentioned the
Princes Trust to me insisting that they helped young people
to develop their business ideas and begged me to hear
them out. After a lot of persuasion I realised I had nothing
left to loose and I went to visit the Trust. I was amazed at
how genuine and kind hearted everyone was and how
willing they were to help. I enrolled onto the Enterprise
Programme which allowed me to gain a real insight to
building a business. I attended many workshops with business
professionals, constructed a business plan and became

H E R E
In a time where more women feel empowered to speak up to claim basic human rights
and equality, JPR Media Group have chosen to participate in the International Day of
the Girl Child event to support young girls who have the ability to shape the course of
how their generation will be perceived and what rights they will get to exercise in an
ever-changing environment.
From recent landmark events where women all over the world have finally felt able to
speak out against the atrocities they survived, we strongly believe that women are
more empowered than ever and still have a long way to go.
From working at an orphanage in Nepal to building her own business independently
as a self-made woman, JPR Media Group’s CEO Jessica Patterson wholeheartedly
understands the help needed with women globally and what it takes to fight her way
to the top.
