History
Women in Sport is the longest-standing charity in its field and has been campaigning for fair sport for women and girls since 1984.
Founded in 1984, Women in Sport is the longest-standing charity in its field with a proud history of securing change for women and girls. At its heart lies a deep understanding of the needs of women and girls and a passion to address the stubborn gender inequalities that still exist.
Based on expert insight, Women in Sport challenges the system, offers solutions and inspires change. Not only do we believe in girls and women having access to sport for the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits it offers, but also because it can address health inequalities and help society to thrive.
Our vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport.
We know that gender stereotypes and institutional bias are holding girls and women back from sport, and in life. We believe that it is wrong to deny them access to sport, and that the distinct physicality of girls and women must be understood and reflected in sport.
To achieve our vision we we aim to further:
