A1 The increased promotion of women's sport across all aspects of the media and female role models of sport being celebrated widely is making a positive impact. #sporthour

A2 - More positive promotion around women and girls in sport. Turning the focus on positive 'stereotypes' to reduce the negative comments being a barrier #sporthour

A3 - More money and investment would allow sport opportunities to grow and more recognition for less ‘popular’ sports so they get the support they deserve and need. Positive promotion to build a legacy and get more girls interested. #sporthour

On #InternationalWomensDay we're encouraging athletes, coaches, parents and staff involved in sport at all levels to learn more about female athlete health. ➡️ learning.sportscotland.org.uk/catalog?pagena…
