Sport and Gender Equality Game Plan

The Sport and Gender Equality Game Plan aims to support sport decision-makers in designing and delivering evidence-based policies and programmes that advance sustainable social transformations. The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are the first in history to achieve gender parity of athletes on the playing field. Over the past few decades, the number of girls participating in sport has risen in many countries, leading to improved physical and mental health and increased opportunities for millions of women and girls. Advances in sport and gender equality can transform lives and uplift communities. Girls who play sport have higher grades, are more likely to graduate high school and are less likely to experience an unintended pregnancy. Participation in sport also develops soft skills, which can be applied in the labour market. 80% of female Fortune 500 executives played competitive sport at some point in their lives. More broadly, sport helps create just, peaceful and gender-equitable societies, making sport a low-cost, high impact investment: every $1 invested in sport generates up to $124 in value.
