Empowering girls in sport and physical activity: strategies for inclusive participation

While discussions on this topic often focus on adolescence, gender inequalities in physical activity begin much earlier, typically between the ages of 2-6. As a result, girls from a young age miss out on important physical, mental, and social benefits. What factors are driving this gap in activity levels and drop-out in sport? In this course, we will break down the barriers girls encounter in different settings, explore how these challenges change as they age, and discuss the latest thinking on what practices can promote greater inclusion and participation.
