Girls belong in sport. It gives them joy, resilience, courage and a sense of belonging. Why then, do 24% fewer girls than boys play team sport and why do 1.3m girls drop out as teenagers?

From the moment they’re born, girls are stereotyped away from sport and towards a life on the side-lines. By the time they reach primary school, they have already developed less skills than the boys in their class, and by the time they’re teenagers, 4 in 10 will have been forced to walk away. This is not inevitable.

Women in Sport exists to change the system, not the girls.

Our research exposes the reality about how girls are pushed out of sport. And we don’t stop at evidence – we fight for change: more teams, more girls-only spaces, more female coaches, and PE and school sport that finally work for girls.

For 40 years, that has been our dream. Donate now to help us make it a reality.
