Today is #SaferInternetDay and we want to draw attention to the horrendous abuse sportswomen face online: 👉 Almost 1 in 3 female athletes experience social media abuse 📈 Up from 14% in 2015 🏃‍♀️ 87% of online abuse of athletes is targeted at women 📊 BBC Sport, World Athletics

But, it's not just well-known athletes being targeted by faceless trolls online. 81% of girls have experienced some form of threatening or upsetting behaviour online, up from 65% in 2018 (Girlguiding, 2023). It's time for structural change so that women and girls feel safe.

#PhysicalLiteracy is when kids have developed the skills, confidence, and love of movement to be physically active... for life! Have kids try a variety of structured and unstructured activities. Find loads of ideas on the site: activeforlife.com 🏃 🤸 🧘 🚴‍♀️

❓How can I find my #ActiveCrowd? ✅Tip #1: Figure out what types of sports & physical activity you enjoy! Do you like competition? The outdoors? A slower pace? Knowing your 'likes' and 'dislikes' will help you find groups with shared passions and interests. #HowToTuesday

It could be as simple as starting your day with a walk, unstructured play after school, taking part in an organized sport or activity, or even ending it with a dance party in the kitchen. Movement doesn't have to be complicated to have an impact!

We need the outdoors to be our healthiest selves. When we examine the physical, mental, and emotional health of our children, a look at brain development tells us why. Read more about it in "Why outdoor play is critical to child development". activeforlife.com/why-outdoor-pl…
