Sport can transform lives, giving girls and women resilience, courage, self-belief and a sense of belonging.

That’s why at Women in Sport, our vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport.

Our purpose is to create lasting positive change for women and girls in sport and society.

We believe

  1. It is wrong to deny women and girls access to sport

  3. When sport includes women and girls it helps to tackle gendered health inequalities
