SISTERS – FoStering gender and LGBTQIA+ equity In Sports through an inTERSectional approach

Description

SISTERS aims to promote women’s and the LGBTQIA+ community’s full inclusion in sports by advancing equity through an intersectional approach. In this project, the concept of women is understood through a non-binary approach, referring to all individuals who identify as women.

By applying an intersectional approach, SISTERS examines how various identity attributes—such as sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, sex characteristics (SOGIESC), national origin, immigrant status, socio-economic background, ability or disability, religion, and culture—shape the experiences of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals in their opportunities, or lack thereof, to participate in sports in an environment free from discrimination and violence.

Objectives

  • Understand trends, facts, and reasons behind women’s and the LGBTQIA+ community’s inequitable access to sport through an intersectional lens;
  • Raise capacities of grassroots sport organisations, trainers and players through gendersensitive and intersectionality-informed methods to:
    1. Advance equity in sport
    2. Tackle discrimination and violence based on gender and SOGIESC.
  • Increase awareness among sports professionals, players, organizations, and society about the harmful effects of intersecting forms of discrimination and violence on the full participation of women and the LGBTQIA+ community in sports.
