Supporting Girls In Sport Grant:
https://sportscommunity.com.au/grants/grants-open-grants/supporting-girls-in-sport/
Australian girls feel that unequal treatment is most profound in sport, according to the Dream Gap Report released by Plan International Australia. The survey of 1,742 Australian girls aged 10-17 years old asked girls about their view of the world, from their experiences in environments like school and the home to their perception of sport and the media. As a sporting community, it’s important to take notice of these results and do whatever we can to help make sport a more level playing field. Look at your facilities. Have a think about your change-rooms, toilets and the club in general – are they spaces where a girl would feel comfortable? If not, it’s probably time to make your club environment more inclusive.
