Don't you think it is time to celebrate women in sport?
The National Association for Girls and Women in Sport ("NAGWS") is working hard to promote the 26th annual celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day in the United States scheduled to take place February 1, 2012. This years theme is: "Title IX at 40: In it for the Long Run."
Despite the acknowledged success that Title IX has had in the United States it is clear that there is still work to be done. The NAGWS stated on their website that "Despite the stunning advances made in the 40 years since Title IX was enacted, high school girls still receive 1.3 million fewer participation opportunities than do boys, and evidence suggests that the money spent on girls' sports programs lags significantly behind the money spent on boys' programs."
How Can You Support Women's Sport on February 1, 2012?
Even if you do not reside in the United States, on February 1, 2012 I challenge you all to put your money where your mouth is and go out and watch a woman's sporting event. Just because you may not necessarily hear about these events in the newspaper (due to a chronic lack of coverage of women's events) doesn't mean they do not exist.
Women in Sport International will be compiling a list of women's sporting events taking place on February 1, 2012 in Canada. Feel free to contact us and send in your event.
Now get out there and support women athletes!
