RESEARCH SHOWS:
Boys are told sport will make a man out of them, but this can:
1
Make people think only boys should do sport, leaving girls out
2
Put pressure on boys to dominate in sport, which can lead to harmful behaviour towards girls
3
Make boys feel that sport is their space and girls are in the way
This mentality comes from deeply ingrained gender stereotyping.
But we can foster a better environment for boys and girls in sport.
Creating Mini Allies
We want our boys to be passionate about sport but also understand that girls love it too.
Let's raise emotionally intelligent men who respect women and girls and who understand that everyone deserves a fair chance in sport.
