The purpose of the girl group method is to make girls - a group, which is frequently marginalized by the prevailing male norms in society - more visible and to strengthen them. The girl group activities bring out the interests and knowledge of the girls and problematizes their subordination. The girl group can provide the girls with a sense of community and loyalty towards one another and learn them to support each other instead of acting as competitors in society.

The girl group can be of considerable support to teenage girls facing a period of difficulty while growing up to become adults. The group also functions as a network, which helps to prevent social marginalization, drug addiction and criminality.
