Women in Sport is calling for the creation of an independent non-departmental body committed to tackling misconduct and abuse in sport.
Women in Sport undertook a research project to support this need and investigate what influences girls aged 11 to 13 years to keep taking part in gymnastics.
Women are less active than men, with 27% of women inactive and a further 15% fairly active but doing less than the recommended amount of physical activity.
Currently, there is no public record of how much public money is being spent on girls’ and women’s sport and leisure, versus men’s and boys.
