We all have a responsibility to keep her flame burning bright.To make sure 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 girl dreams big, knowing that her spark is worth protecting. By just FIVE years old, many girls begin to doubt their capabilities, underestimate their potential and lose faith in themselves. They start to believe they’re not as good as boys and feel less than. The unconscious bias of society extinguishes their dreams.This #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, we urge you to Reflect. Challenge. Advocate. It’s unacceptable to let this culture persist - one where girls feel like they don’t belong in sport. In 2024, do we really accept the inequality in sport? The lack of opportunity for girls?! It’s time demand change and #DoItForHerEvery one of us carries unconscious biases that hold girls back, whispering “No, not you.” Yet the fire in her heart asks, “Why not?”1 in 2 girls drop out of sport by age 20. Girls feel they don’t belong. But we must close this gap and help her see beyond limitations.When the world is silent, even one voice can be powerful. 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 voice has the power to change 𝗛𝗘𝗥 future.It’s up to each of us to keep her flame alive. Challenge the status quo, demand change, and believe in her. When we do, she can light up the world. #DoItForHer How can you help?1. Share this campaign and #DoItForHer2.

Every girl and boy should feel like they have equal opportunity in sport. Right now 50% of girls drop out of sport by the age of 20. That’s not good enough.The value of sport extends beyond the sporting arena - 94% of women in executive managerial positions have a background in sport.ɢɪʀʟꜱ ᴡʜᴏ ᴘʟᴀʏ ꜱᴘᴏʀᴛ, ʙᴇᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴡᴏᴍᴇɴ ᴡʜᴏ ʟᴇᴀᴅ.We are OFFICIALLY launching the 𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, our not-for-profit arm, which will continue our work to elimiate the barriers that exist for girls and women in sport.The Foundation will focus on Community Impact, Advocacy and Research to:- Support educational workshop delivery in schools and sports clubs- Provide financial support to athletes and sports teams for equipment, travel, kit and other essential needs- Fund critical research in women’s sport to advocate more forcefully for systemic change in policy and culture.- Lead powerful advocacy and visbility campaigns that dismantle gender bias and challenge societal norms.If your business would like to find out more, support the Her Sport Foundation and or buy a table at our Fundraising Dinner please contact 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻@𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.𝗶𝗲 or DM us and we will get back to you!Alternatively, you can make an individual donation using the link in our bio.Thank you. 🙏🏽 by @hersportuk

You NEED to watch this.AFC Bournemouth’s campaign, “A walk home from the football might not be the same for everyone,” highlights a reality that many women know all too well.The journey home after a match can look completely different depending on who you are. For many women, walking alone at night means constantly assessing their surroundings, changing their route, checking over their shoulder and staying alert to potential danger.It’s a powerful reminder of the fear and anxiety that women are forced to navigate in situations that should feel completely ordinary.A campaign that makes you stop and think.What do you make of it? 👇🎥 Credit: @afcb on YouTube by @hersportuk

Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall was brought to tears when she was asked by a nine-year-old journalist how she deals with pressure and anxiety.“Have fun.” ❤️It’s easy to forget why we started when the pressure builds. But sometimes, the best thing you can do is remember what made you fall in love with your sport in the first place.Joy isn’t a distraction from performance; sometimes, it’s the reason for it.Credit: @issanimeesha by @hersportuk
