Episode description

This chapter considers the inequalities we see more broadly in women’s sport - across all ages and abilities – and what’s finally being done to address this. 

From little girls not allowed to join the boys playing football in the playground, teenage girls unable to play a sport they love because clubs don’t have girls teams, through to older women uncomfortable about exercising in public for fear of ridicule.

Why are girls already less active than boys at just 7 and how does this difference widen as they move from childhood to adolescence?

I explore the great work that is now being done to address these issues from leading sports organisations and schools through to race directors and charities.
