Great article by Cath Bishop exposing the fact that while #Paris2024 may have had gender parity in participation there is still a long way to go. When seeing the clothing worn always ask yourself: Is it practical, professional or patriarchal? theguardian.com/sport/articl…

Women’s parity in sport has a long way to go despite positive Paris signs | Cath Bishop

From research into ACL injuries to a low number of female coaches, much more is needed to support women in sport

The responses to these athletes having the audacity to wear what suits them shows the battle we are facing across the world of sport. The comments quoted are depressing to read, however these #BeachVolleyball ers deserve praise for their bravery. news.com.au/sport/olympics/s…

Kit is one of the biggest barriers to being active. At @ParkPlayUK everyone is welcome, you can wear what you like and play your way. The photo is from last Saturday at Spikes Bridge ParkPlay in Southall. (ParkPlay t-shirts optional 😉) #MeetMovePlay #EveryBodyBelongs

... The next step for Tess is to take her findings worldwide🌎 Through @InclusiveSprtwr, she aims to tackle gendered kit issues across all sport - as she shows 70% of interviewees report incidents of girls dropping sport at school due to clothing & body image concerns. [3/4]

Tess' research has already reformed the @Vitality_UK Women’s Hockey Premier League - which her team @eghockeyclub just won this week🥳 She campaigned for change: And now, players are no longer required to wear skirts - they have the choice to wear shorts... 👏 👏 [2/4]
