The Commission on the Future of Women's Sport
The Commission on the Future of Women's Sport was launched in 2008 by Andy Burnham MP, the then Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Conceived by the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF), its purpose is to unlock the exceptional potential of women's sport, by addressing the problems of leadership, investment and profile in the sector.
Today, women hold just one in five of the top jobs in sport, investment in women's sport lags far behind men's and as little as two per cent of sports media coverage is devoted to female competitors and teams.
These statistics reveal a bias that is preventing women's sport from reaching its potential - from elite sport to the grassroots. Progress would bring far-reaching benefits, for Britain's sporting reputation and success, for young girls who find role models who can inspire them to get involved, and for a commercial women's sport market that holds real potential for growth.
Over the next three years, commission members, who are leading figures in business and the media and are chaired by Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE will raise awareness of the issues, recommend solutions and work directly with those with the power to effect change.
