@YvonneH147 is joined on stage by @OKeefeLisa of @IWGWomenSport, as #WomeninFootball becomes a signatory to the Brighton Plus Helsinki Declaration: iwgwomenandsport.org/brighto… #WIFBeInspired

Three million more women are now active compared to January 2015 when @ThisGirlCanUK was launched. Despite strides made, the gender-activity gap persists with half a million fewer active women than men according to #SportEngland data. telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport…

We're celebrating women and girls moving how they damn well like as #ThisGirlCan turns 10! 🎉 Powered by @TNLUK funding, we're thanking you for making it happen - here's to another 10 years of supporting and empowering women to be active. @LottoGoodCauses

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Penny Chuter last month. It’s hard to put into words just what a pioneer she was. Today’s obituary in the Guardian does a good job. I would only add … kind, generous and modest. RIP theguardian.com/sport/2024/d…

Earlier this year we were delighted to be the first UK golf body to sign the Brighton Helsinki Declaration (englandgolf.org/news-detail?…) and earlier this week our CEO, Jeremy Tomlinson was invited to represent us at the @IWGWomenSport 30th anniversary dinner. 🤝

This clip of BBC Presenter Naga Munchetty perfectly captures how limiting and restrictive it can feel to exercise outdoors in the winter months. Women and girls deserve to be active outdoors, in public, without fearing for their safety.

#ThisGirlCan be anything she wants to be. 💪

What a day we had on Tuesday! 😊 Well done Women in Sport for hosting a truly fantastic 40th Anniversary Conference attended by @OKeefeLisa and @PhelpsAnnamarie on the theme of “Because Women and Girls Belong – Joining Forces for the Future” Read all about the day 👇womeninsport.org/news/women-…

Thanks to colleagues at @NISportsForum and the @LawSociety_NI for the invitation to speak at this year’s Sports Law Conference focused on Women in Sport, Diversity and Governance. Always great to learn from and share what is happening in other countries. @IWGWomenSport

IWG Women & Sport is delighted to welcome @usrowing to the IWG Global Network, as the latest signatories of the Brighton Plus Helsinki Declaration, bolstering their commitment to improving gender equality as part of their comprehensive DEI plan. USRowing’s United We Row initiative focuses on supporting rowing programs, coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in advancing the sport of rowing to diversify and grow their programs. This past year, United We Row awarded seven grants to rowing programs across the country who are working to make rowing more accessible to their community. The United We Row scholarships break down financial barriers so rowers, coxswains, and coaches can pursue their goals on the water. iwgwomenandsport.org/usrowin…
