About Us
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.
Celebrating 40 years of Women in Sport
40 years of challenging gender inequality in sport, of proving the need for change, of tireless campaigning zeal.
Creating Mini Allies
-
Our latest research shows boys as young as 5 learn girls don't belong in sport
So we created a campaign to get the nation talking.
-
“When boys are grown up they work and exercise. When girls grow up, they have to stay at home and make food.” (Primary school boy)
Who we are
We have led the field in creating change for teenage girls and challenged the system to better serve women in midlife.
Are you with us?
Sport has the potential to transform the lives of women and girls for the better, yet the opportunities are not always there for them.
We need your help to create a future where everyone can benefit from sport.
