Gender Bias in Sport & Physical Activity
Birmingham 2022 was the first ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men. 49% of athletes attending the Olympics in Tokyo were women and 40.5% of athletes attending the Paralympics were women. Whilst this is good news, there is still such a long way to go across the whole spectrum of Sport and Physical Activity, especially when we consider intersectionality.
This webinar will look at gender bias in sport and how that intersects with other characteristics. We will also explore underrepresentation of women in different areas of sport from workforce to participation.
