Boys and Girls in Sport - How important equality in sports matters for equality in Society

Boys and Girls in Sports - How important it is that we focus in equality in sports as a way to change society and promote gender equality everywhere?

Today, Parliament could be legally targeted because of abuses committed in the House of Parliament including mistreatment, sex abuses, harassment and many other unwanted and erroneous behaviours.

How much of what we at the workplace is actually a reflection of what is happening elsewhere. Britain has some of the most successful female soccer teams and girls are naturally inclined to participate in a sport that they very much love. Unfortunately, in places where their vocation for sports should be supported many girls are being unmotivated because there individuals who think and tell them 'that soccer is for boys only'. Well, those idiots that say that 'soccer is for boys only' should be told in no uncertain manner that soccer is for all and girls have a natural right to play soccer or any other sport without being intimidated, harassed or ridiculed.

I want a society in which men and women have equal opportunities in whichever lawful activity they feel inclined to participate. I want a society in which people are not discriminated against because of their gender. But once again we are struggling to achieve the kind of society that I want because there are far too many people who go out of their way to prevent such society from becoming a reality.

The Principle must come from the very top. If there needs to be legislation to make clear that there must not be any kind of discrimination in sports, let's have legislation. Let's send a clear message to all and specially to those who are in places of responsibility like centres of education. Do you want to play soccer? Play soccer. Do you want to play rugby? Play rugby.
