Women in Sport

Why Join Team #WomenInSport?

We have been campaigning for the rights of women and girls in sport since 1984. As the longest standing charity in this field, and a history of securing change for women and girls, we are passionate about addressing the stubborn gender inequalities that still exist.  

We believe it is wrong to deny women and girls access to sport, and we need your help to continue tackling this and empowering women and girls through sport.

We know gender stereotypes and institutional bias are holding girls and women back from sport, and in life, and we believe that:

1). It is wrong to deny women and girls access to sport.
2). The distinct physicality of women and girls must be understood and reflected in sport.
3). When sport includes women and girls it helps to tackle gendered economic and health inequalities

For this reason, we aim to:

• Deeply understand women and girls in all their diversity, at each lifestage.
• Raise Awareness of gender inequality in sport and why It matters.
• Pilot Solutions developing policies and concepts for change.
• Inspire Change through campaign, collaboration, and influence.
