GSM Live (video): Is 2021 the Year for Women and Girls Sport?

Women's sport was set to be the forefront of conversation and action in 2020 before the pandemic halted the industry. Now, we have a chance to see real issues make gains, like the gender pay gap, but we must also tackle the issue of sports for youth girls as well. Over the years, girls participation in sport has been dropping faster than the rate of boys. Access, safety and health concerns have always been an issue named in the decline of participation, but what will the longterm impact of COVID-19 be moving forward? We need to begin building better solutions to keep girls in sport and keep women's sport on the rise.
