JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO BLAZE A TRAIL
Have you been inspired by the Australian Women’s Football Team’s battle to play on equal terms?
Let’s continue their legacy and help drive change for gender equality in our communities, clubs, schools and organisations.
Join us in signing the Blaze a Trail commitment and you will be supported with resources and ways you can get involved to make a difference for gender equality.
The success of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup shows what’s possible with investment in women’s and girls’ sports.
Yet, challenges still exist — in communities, girls participate in sports at significantly lower levels than boys, while at the elite level, female athletes receive less pay, support, and media attention. Women are also underrepresented in leadership positions at all levels.
The Trailblazers campaign aims to build momentum for further progress in gender equality and leadership and to support increased investment and opportunities for women and girls in sports.
Join the movement to blaze a trail for gender equality in sport.
