Women of Sport Network IWD Sports Forum

The Women of Sport Network in partnership the DLGSC invites you to join us for the 2024 International Women's Day Sport Forum. The topic for this years IWD is Count Her In: Invest In Women. Accelerate Progress.
Count Her In will examine the pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. While important progress has been made, women face significant obstacles to achieving equal participation in the economy. Without equal access to education, employment pathways, financial services and literacy, how can we ever hope to reach gender equality?
Join us for this informative session delivered by industry leaders who are working to ensure all women and girls have the opportunity to build a better financial future.

The Building Inclusive Sport Clubs program aims to support community sport organisations to embed sustainable inclusive practices and programs to better support people with disabilities to access sport.
The program is facilitated by women leaders who have lived experiences of disability and sport and will enable clubs the opportunity to discuss best practice and champion one another towards more inclusive and accessible practices.
To showcase the success clubs had through this program, Victoria University and Disability Sports Australia will be running an online forum for any club to attend and hear the first hand experience.
