Women in Sport Aotearoa was established in late 2016 and became a not-for-profit Incorporated Society on 23 January 2017.

We were officially launched on United Nations International Women’s Day, 8 March 2017. We officially became a charity on 3 March 2020.

Change leadership support for sporting organisations, influencing the way they develop gender strategies and make investment choices in women’s sport
Campaigns championing existing and emerging females leaders, particularly in the coaching community where females are strongly underrepresented
Public advocacy campaigns to draw attention to the issues that women and girls face, when seeking equity of opportunity within sport and recreation
Advocacy directly with key influencers, such as media and broadcasters, to increase the quality and quantity of female representation within our society
Speaking engagements to help raise awareness of the issues and changes needed to ensure a fairer and safer sporting system for women and girls
Conferences and events designed to bring key influencers together and arm them with the best research and practices to create positive change
