    40th Anniversary Conference - Highlights - Part 1

    In November 2024 Women in Sport held our 40th anniversary conference in London. In this episode of the podcast we’ll hear some highlights from the event, featuring a discussion chaired by Julia George with three high-profile women in sport, talking about their vision for the future – and what makes them mad about the lack of progress towards true equality. Paula Dunn MBE is the first female head coach appointed by UK Athletics Lisa O’Keefe MBE is the Secretary General of the International Working Group on Women and Sport Kelly Simmonds OBE spent thirty years at the Football Association, latterly as the director of the women’s professional game All of them faced down some kind of prejudice, misogyny or discrimination on their way to the top. **** About Women in Sport Because women and girls belong DONATE and support our work here Founded in 1984, Women in Sport is the longest-standing charity in its field with a proud history of securing change for women and girls.

    Paris 2024 Paralympic Preview: Monica Vaughan

    It’s August 2024 and this week, the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games begins. The Paralympics, as we commonly know them, have their roots in the Stoke Mandeville Games, first held in 1948, when only wheelchair athletes competed. In 1960, they were renamed as the Paralympic Games, and in 1976, para-athletes besides wheelchair users were allowed to compete for the first time. My guest today was one of those. And she didn’t just compete – she cleaned up. Monica Vaughan represented Great Britain in swimming at two Paralympics. Five Gold medals in Toronto in ’76 were followed by four more plus a Silver in Arnhem in Germany in 1980. By the way, thank you to Stylist Magazine for naming us as one of the best podcasts about women in sport.

    General Election Special: Tackling Heath Inequalities

    This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary. We've relaunched our podcast to coincide with the 2024 UK General Election. Women and girls belong in sport. But we are less active than men and boys at every stage of our lives. 27% of women do less than 30 minutes of sporting activity a week. Just 3% of women play in a sports team. 22% fewer girls than boys take part in team sport. Stigma, prejudice and taboos about sport, gender and health are holding women and girls back. This episode of our podcast looks at how we help the UK step up and recognise the value and importance of sport to women and girls. [Warning: There is a section midway through this episode where there's a bit of swearing] Presenter: Julia George, journalist, broadcaster and former gymnast Guests: Gary Leybourne the CEO of Coach Core, a charity which creates sports coaching apprenticeships across the UK.  Rachel Williams works for Women in Sport in policy and public affairs, managing our relationships with politicians, decision-makers and government.  Dr Bella Smith was labelled ‘not particularly sporty’ at school now she’s a passionate distance runner and is a co-founder of The Well HQ, a movement that aims to help girls and women feel they truly belong in sport.  About Women in Sport Women in Sport was founded in 1984 and its vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and exercise.

    General Election Special: Stamping out misogyny

    This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary. We've relaunched our podcast to coincide with the 2024 UK General Election. Women and girls belong in sport. But misogyny is a significant barrier. We believe that when sport includes women and girls it helps tackle health inequalities. In this podcast we’re tackling what needs to be done to eradicate misogyny from sport, and society in general.  Presenter: Julia George, journalist, broadcaster and former gymnast Guests: Fiona Scolding KC has worked in education law for over 20 years, notably as lead counsel to three different investigations at the Independent Inquiry for Child Sexual Abuse.  Ugo Monye is a rugby union international, who was capped 14 times for England and played 241 times for Harlequins, winning the Premiership title in 2012 before retiring in 2015.  Rachel Williams leads our work on developing policy positions and on our relationship with political and policymaking stakeholders across the UK and at all levels of government.  About Women in Sport Women in Sport was founded in 1984 and its vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and exercise.

    General Election Special: Why 50/50 leadership in sport is bl**dy obvious!

    This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary. Women and girls belong in sport. But they are less active than men at every stage of their lives. It’s worse if you’re a woman of colour. Elite male athletes are celebrated for their strength and skill, whilst women are still often discussed in terms of their appearance and their relationships. And their pay and rewards still lag far behind. In this episode, we’re tackling what needs to be done make sport fair for women and girls, in the playground, on the pitch, and in the boardroom. In particular:  What is gender budgeting and why sport so desperately needs it  Why 50-50 leadership is vital in sport (and elsewhere) How 50-50 visibility can give more girls a chance to dream  Presenter: Julia George, journalist, broadcaster and former gymnast Guests: Ali Donnelly, who is the CEO of More Than Equal, a new organisation which aims to get  more women competing at the very top end of motorsport. Rachel Williams leads Women in Sport’s relationships with politicians and policymakers across the UK and at all levels of government. Brian Moore is a former rugby union international, who played 64 times for England as a hooker. About Women in Sport Women in Sport was founded in 1984 and its vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and exercise.
