Bringing the world together,
with skateboarding

Skateistan is an award-winning, women-led organization—bringing the world together, with skateboarding. Working in many of the most insecure and unequal communities on the planet, we create safe spaces where marginalized children can learn, play, and shape their futures. Today, we reach over 10,000 individuals in more than 50 locations over five continents. Over 56% of our participants are girls. 

We believe that play

is a human right, for everyone.

With rising inequality, forced migration, gender discrimination, violence, and racism, over half-a-billion children* are growing up in conflict zones or unequal systems.

Across the board, girls face the greatest risks—excluded from education, exposed to violence, and denied their rights. The next generation deserves a better future—we believe that future is women-led. Skateistan is pushing for a world where spaces and resources for children to just be themselves are no longer scarce.

Play is a human right, without which children—especially girls—cannot become the leaders of tomorrow.
