Story
Our 2021 research identified a gap in all leadership roles in sport for women, and a new analytical report from the "All In Plus: Promoting Greater Gender Equality in Sport" joint project highlights both progress and persistent disparities in gender equality across European sport. Whilst this does not take Scottish or UK sport into account, we believe that the findings will reflect the position that we hold here.
Leadership: Women remain significantly underrepresented in decision-making roles. Only 12% of sports federations have a female President, and 29% have a female Vice-President or Board members.
Coaching: Women make up only 23% of registered coaches, with significant variations among countries.
Officiating: Women account for just 32% of sports officials,
Participation: Women and girls represent only 31% of all sports federation members.
