Gender and Sport

Journal 46 from Sport and Citizenship Think Tank

 

The Women’s Football World Cup shining the spotlight on the issues and development potential in this discipline. FIFA has adopted its global Women’s Football Strategy and UEFA has adopted a five-year plan aimed at doubling the number of women players in Europe by 2024.

These initiatives should not be limited to football alone and must not be allowed to fade out after the closing ceremony. We need to make the most of this enthusiasm by adopting general measures to encourage everyone to do some kind of sport or physical activity, everywhere. Although the gap in sport participation is narrowing, there is still a lot of inequality between men and women, which is more or less marked depending on age and geographical location.

Of course, sport cannot do everything, but it should contribute to social progress.

In this review we are following up these lines of reflection, with different points of view.
