Girlguiding UK has revealed that sexism affects "most aspects" of the every day lives of young women.
The organisation's "Equality For Girls" report surveyed more than 1,200 girls and young women aged 7 to 21, and have called their findings "a wake-up call" and "a disturbing insight into the state of equality for girls in the UK."
The survey revealed that 87% of the 11 to 21-year-olds surveyed said they thought women were judged based on their appearance, and not their abilities.
And 60% of the 16 to 21-year-olds said they've felt "patronised or made to feel stupid" because they're female.
