The Challenge
Gender+ continue to be under-represented in sport research, sport participation, and sport leadership in Canada.
25%
Women coaches across all levels of sport in Canada
18%
Women aged 16-63 involved in sport in Canada
1 in 5
National sporting bodies with women in any senior staff roles
What’s more, the detrimental impacts of compounding systemic power structures on gender+ participation and leadership in sport remain persistent:
Race is rarely accounted for in studies of sport in Canada.
Girls and women experience distinct harms of gender-based violence in sport.
Women’s sport is represented significantly less than men’s sport in traditional media.
