This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary. We've relaunched our podcast to coincide with the 2024 UK General Election.
Women and girls belong in sport. But misogyny is a significant barrier. We believe that when sport includes women and girls it helps tackle health inequalities. In this podcast we’re tackling what needs to be done to eradicate misogyny from sport, and society in general.
Presenter:
Julia George, journalist, broadcaster and former gymnast
Guests:
Fiona Scolding KC has worked in education law for over 20 years, notably as lead counsel to three different investigations at the Independent Inquiry for Child Sexual Abuse.
Ugo Monye is a rugby union international, who was capped 14 times for England and played 241 times for Harlequins, winning the Premiership title in 2012 before retiring in 2015.
Rachel Williams leads our work on developing policy positions and on our relationship with political and policymaking stakeholders across the UK and at all levels of government.
About Women in Sport
Women in Sport was founded in 1984 and its vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and exercise.
Recognising that gender stereotypes and institutional bias are holding women back in life and in sport, the charity’s purpose is to give every woman and girl the opportunity to take part and inspire her to do so.
