'We don't want sports to be male-dominated'
Jersey Sport, a charity, is working to encourage more women and girls to take up sports, addressing the gap in participation between males and females. The charity has held events and initiatives, including providing female-only classes and facilities, to make sports more accessible and appealing to women and girls.
Jersey Sport is promoting sports for women and girls. The charity found that teenage girls are 6% less likely to be active than boys. Factors like lack of confidence and limited female-only classes contribute to this gap. To address this, Jersey Sport has held events, including one for over 200 girls to try new sports. Simple solutions like providing feminine hygiene products and women-led sessions can help. Local sports clubs and teams are also supporting the initiative, inspiring young girls to participate in sports.
