To be a true champion of equity for women and girls in sport and physical activity, is to endorse the Brighton plus Helsinki Declaration on Women and Sport.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Developed and established by the International Working Group (IWG) on Women and Sport in 1994, the Brighton Declaration is an international treaty that has become a road map to support the ongoing development of a more fair and equitable system of sport and physical activity, fully inclusive of women and girls.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been designed to complement all sporting, local, national and international charters, laws, codes, rules and regulations relating to equity in sport and physical activity, whilst also setting an even higher benchmark related to the full inclusion of women and girls in all aspects society.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, on the 20th anniversary of its original establishment, the Brighton Declaration was updated by the IWG to become the Brighton Plus Helsinki Declaration, incorporating and reflecting major developments in international policy, while still holding true to the founding principles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, nearly 600 global organisations are signatories to this treaty, including International Federations, National Governing Bodies, and organisations dedicated to sport and physical activity globally, nationally and regionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

To become a signatory to the Declaration is to show a belief in, and commitment to developing a culture that enables and values the full involvement of women in every aspect of sport and physical activity. Those that endorse the Declaration commit to enabling women and girls to freely and safely participate, compete and build careers in sport and physical activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
