Girl Power in Play symposium
The symposium will focus on the link between sports and girls' development, particularly in developing countries.
WHAT
Sport can have a transformative impact on the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls. Together, we will tackle a critical question: How can we accelerate the movement for girls’ empowerment through sport? We will address this topic through a wide lens, discussing the connection between sport participation and gender empowerment, improved health, changing social norms, and better nutrition.
WHO
We are convening diverse voices across sectors —policy and decision makers, sport stars, high-level Canadian government officials, private sector representatives, international NGOs and grassroots organisations, activists, researchers, young people, and media.
WHY
By bringing together key stakeholders, this symposium will forge partnerships, share solutions, and spark economic investment and political commitment to girls in sport. When girls play, everybody wins.
