This report outlines insights from the Women in Sport research project with primary school boys to understand their attitudes towards girls in sport.
This report summarises key insights from a major research project we conducted with primary school aged boys. Through this research Women in Sport have begun the journey to tackle the issue at the very root from which it grows, by working with young boys and their families to understand what influences their attitudes to girls in sport. Women in Sport want to break the cycle area and find ways to create a new generation of boys who can be agents of change for girls and women in sport.
