We believe that stories have the power to change lives and that if we want to create change for girls and women in sport, we need to share and talk more freely about the challenges and joys of being a woman in sport.
Girls Only Project faces head on the realities of what it means to be a woman in sport and provides an opportunity to create and sustain a conversation about tough issues that girls and women face in the sporting world.
We research to be better able to advocate for change and equality for all girls and women in sport. We are the only organisation in South Africa dedicated to researching women in sport issues.
Sharing of key research findings on various platforms to promote women in sport.
Girls Only events to highlight the issues and keep the conversation around these issues in the forefront of sport.
Provision of educational campaigns and events to various stakeholders in order to better empower women in sport.
