Abi is Co-Founder of Festival of the Girl, an annual festival which celebrates and inspires girls aged seven to eleven. She is also Founder and Director of She Stands, a movement founded on the idea that girls and women should never have to apologise for taking up space. They raise awareness around the impacts of gender stereotyping on posture and create trainings to shape a more gender equal society. She is also Co-founder and Director of Arrive in Politics which is a mentorship programme for young women who want to begin or advance their career in politics. Inspired by her daughters, Margot and Nancy, Abi hopes Festival of The Girl, She Stands, Arrive in Politics and Her Land can create genuine change so that all children can grow and develop surrounded by strong role models in a world that supports and nourishes them.
