I am going to mention the 12th book I have read this year. It’s called Offside by Julianna Stone. Gender in sport is a big thing within sport throughout the world. It’s true that it has become easier for women to progress in sport more than before. There is still a long way to go to be equal to men. The media doesn’t help promote the same it does male sports. Look in the newspapers in the back of the sports pages today. I bet there will be a maximum number of two articles about females in sport. Most of the time when we see females in the sport being promoted they are used for objects of desire instead of their achievements of the sport they play. If you look at the difference between the sports and the amounts of money for men over women then say it’s OK your wrong. I want the next generation of children to grow up with the same equal chances in a sport.
In education, we tell our pupils to treat everyone the same. As a world, we don’t do this. I would bet the time it takes everyone to understand this I will no longer be alive in body. If we want true equal rights in life then as a world we will have to change. If you want the right to wear your religions clothes. The right to tattoo your own arm in a tribute to those that have past. The right to play against the best sportswomen in the world. The right to marry who you want. The right to seat where you want. The right to equal pay. The right to vote in things that affect you.
I want to have the right to change my world for the better.
One day at a time. One dream at a time. One right at a time.
Gender in sport. It’s not right yet.
Thank you for reading.
