“It’s crucial to connect with the younger generations and pass onto them the necessary tools” Champions like Grant Williams know #youthengagement in #sports is positive for physical and #mentalhealth, helps reduce school dropout and crime rates and encourages #communityinvolvement!
Ahead of #Paris24, UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 organized #ChangetheGame to recognise and advance the positive social impact of sport. Following our #Fit4Life Alliance, the event engaged partners worldwide who believe #sport can address the crisis of #inactivity, #inequality and #mentalhealth.
#Investment and #equality in sport remain insufficient. Only 30% secondary school students worldwide meet UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳’s minimum requirement of #physicalactivity per week. Girls and women are also more likely to suffer negative experiences and abuse in sport. This must stop.
Gender inequality in #sport goes beyond media. We need more #womendirectors, #womencoaches, sponsorship of female athletes, and to end violence against them. Tackling these issues is key for #genderequality. Watch my interview with Bloomberg TV (38:50): bloom.bg/3LHs7Bg
