On international women’s day, join us as we explore gender equity in and through sport.
In this episode hosted by Dr. Jennifer Walinga, we will speak with sport leaders about some of the barriers to women’s representation in sport, the battle to change limiting mindsets, what it takes to tackle unconscious bias, and the challenges we see ahead. We will also discuss how far women have come in sport, what initiatives are underway and working, and where we see opportunities for positive change for women and girls across the sport landscape. Our guest panelists include:
- Pamphinette Buisa: Rugby Canada and Black Lives Matter rally organizer/speaker;
