  • Why sport matters for women and girls

    Sport gives women and girls resilience, courage, self-belief and a sense of belonging, but all too often, they are missing out.

  • Women and girls deserve equal opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sport, which is why our charity it determined too tackle sexism in sport at every level.
