Empowering girls worldwide through boxing.
By providing equipment, supporting local projects, and building self-confidence and mental resilience.
Because every girl deserves the chance to shine.
Mission
Empowering girls.
The NO GIRLS NO GLORY foundation is dedicated to empowering girls in vulnerable circumstances worldwide through boxing. Boxing is more than a sport, it’s a tool for resilience, discipline, self-confidence, and both physical and mental strength.
Vision
Regardless of background.
Our vision is a world where every girl, regardless of background, culture, or financial situation, can access boxing as a means of self-development, safety, and empowerment.
Founders
Mothers of daughters.
June 26, 2025 marks something special: the establishment of the NO GIRLS NO GLORY foundation. We (Michelle Jones, Shiwani Singh & Ingeborg van der Vorst) are mothers of daughters who grew up with freedom, confidence, and opportunity. What seems obvious to them is far from reality for millions of girls worldwide. Inspired by the historic gender equality of the 2028 Olympic Games, we aim to support girls by providing sports equipment, supporting local initiatives, and encouraging resilience, discipline, and strength — both physical and mental.
Because whenever a girl is given an opportunity to recognize her full potential, she changes not only her own life, but the world around her.
So inspired by this initiative 💫
Boxing has given me so much strength — both mentally and physically — and I love seeing that same opportunity being created for girls around the world 🥊🫶
