“What we are seeing is a convergence of misogyny – women are not yet accepted as equal in sport and nor are they accepted in leadership roles,” said Women in Sport CEO Stephanie Hilborne.<\/p>\n
“If sport wants a coaching workforce fit for the future, it must put clear anti-misogyny policies in place, backed by training, to tackle harmful behaviours and the structures and cultures that allow inequality to persist.” <\/p>\n
Sport England chair Chris Boardman added: “It is a clear wake-up call. <\/p>\n
“From safety fears when exercising, to online abuse and bullying in coaching, too many women and girls still face barriers across sport at every level.” <\/p>\n
Women in Sport said the findings show the need for long?term cultural change across the coaching system to ensure women can work safely and confidently. <\/p>\n
The charity recommended the introduction of anti?misogyny policies across all levels of sport, backed by proper training, to tackle harmful behaviour and outdated attitudes.<\/p>\n
It called for gender?impact reporting and gender budgeting to help identify and close gaps in pay, expenses and investment in coach development, as well as ensuring gender-balanced leadership, with transparent annual reporting on the make-up of senior leadership.<\/p>\n
It also wants independent and trusted reporting mechanisms to be established so that coaches can report harm safely and with confidence. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
