Description

Addressing the Gender Knowledge Gap in Disability Sport Participation. This project aims to close the persistent ‘gender gap’ in Australian disability sport participation to improve opportunities and benefits for over two million women, girls and nonbinary people. Women with disability experience considerably lower rates of physical activity and sport participation with greater psychological distress, compared with nondisabled women and men with disability. Informed by a feminist methodology and disability-led design thinking the project draws on the lived experience of end users to improve the capacity of sport organisations to effect change. Individuals and sport organisations will benefit from the co-creation of policy and practice resources for gender and disability inclusion. . Scheme: Linkage Projects.
