IWG is pleased to announce the publication of our Year One Report, which reflects a successful first year of the UK IWG Secretariat.
Highlights from the report
We welcomed new signatories to the Brighton Plus Helsinki declaration, each of whom have committed to working towards the principles of the declaration and a world where women and girls thrive in sport and physical activity.
New signatories include:
- International Tennis Federation
- Lawn Tennis Association
- Rugby Football Union
- Montenegrin Olympic Committee
Building the reputation of the IWG within in the UK and globally is and remains a priority. IWG contributed to the UK Government commissioned Independent Review into the future of domestic women’s football in England through membership of the expert panel.
IWG also collaborated with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) plus Deloitte in the UK to develop a ‘Women’s Sport Accelerator’ programme, designed to boost investment and increase broadcast audiences for women’s sport.
Insight is a critical element of the strategy, and highlights here include research from IWG Research Lead Professor Elizabeth Pike, University of Hertfordshire, with all former IWG Co-chairs and Secretary Generals to contribute to the story of the first 30 years of the IWG, which will be available as a free e-book in early 2024.
Several research grants have been secured to fund further research into gender equality activity and policies, and IWG co-hosted the launch of UK Sport research on Gender Equality in International Sports Leadership.
