This Girl Can has teamed up with ukactive to produce guidance for leisure facilities on how to make women and girls feel safer while getting active.
As part of the award-winning campaign’s latest focus on closing the ‘Enjoyment Gap’ and 2021’s guidance on how to make leisure facilities more welcoming for women and girls, this guidance turns the attention to making safer spaces to get active.
Based on a survey by Walnut of more than 900 women that showed 42% had at least one experience of sexual harassment or intimidation in a leisure facility, the guidance gives practical advice to facilities on how to help women feel safer.
