Every year, World Mental Health Day reminds us that mental wellbeing is a universal right yet for many girls, it remains out of reach. Across our communities, countless young people have faced discrimination, violence, or trauma that leaves deep emotional scars. At Girls in Sport, we believe in the healing power of participation, connection, and belonging. Sport is not just about physical activity, it is about rebuilding lives.

Women’s Equality Day is a global reminder that gender equality is not only a human right, but a cornerstone of sustainable development. While progress has been made worldwide, structural barriers, economic constraints, and entrenched gender norms continue to hold many girls back from reaching their potential.
