Girls in Brazil call for ‘full and equal participation in sport, with safety and support’
22 July 2024
Sport teaches girls the skills they need to advance in life. Girls who play sports develop self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and learn to work in teams. They tend to stay in school longer, delay pregnancy, and get better jobs (UNStats, 2023).
The benefits of participation in sport for girls and women are many, yet the barriers to safe access to sport and leadership opportunities persist. Women athletes continue to struggle with fewer professional opportunities, a massive pay gap, fewer sponsorships, less airtime, and unequal playing conditions.
Rebeca Cristina Cassiano dos Anjos from Rio de Janeiro started swimming when she was four years old. However, staying in sport was a struggle. “It’s a daily struggle against prejudice, sexism, lack of sponsorship and encouragement,” says Rebeca, now 19.
Eighteen-year-old Maria Luiza Oliveira Coelho, also from Rio, explains: “lack of safe spaces for practicing sport and the domestic work takes up a significant amount of time for girls and women, and as a result they have less time to devote to sport, and racial discrimination makes it even worse.”
For the first time in history, the Paris Olympics will see an equal number of men and women athletes competing, and there is growing attention to women’s sport. Seeing more women play, and better representation of women in sport and in sports media matter to girls like Rebeca and Maria and countless others.
“Media representation influences us a lot,” said Rebeca. “When we see ourselves on TV competing in the Olympics and playing in World Cups, we feel represented and the dream to get there becomes real.”
Girls and women need and want to see more female role models in the sport ecosystem, including in leadership roles. They also need encouragement and enabling support to stay in sport. It’s time to finally break the pattern of gender inequality and demand investment, equal opportunities, more visibility for women’s sports, and an end to harassment and abuse.
