At Her Sport, we understand that sport is more than just about wins and losses—they’re a reflection of society. Behind every athlete, coach, parent, and fan, there are stories of triumph and perseverance, but also stories of struggle, inequality, and injustice that too often go unheard. We’re here to change that.
We’re inviting you to share your story with us. Whether it’s an opinion piece, a personal experience, or an issue you believe needs more attention, this is your chance to shed light on it. Whether you’re an athlete, a supporter, or someone who loves sport, your voice matters.
Let’s Shine a Light on the Unspoken
Have you experienced unfair treatment in your sport? Seen inequality in opportunities, facilities, or funding? Witnessed sexism, discrimination, or exclusion in your club or organisation? These stories need to be told.
We know that for many women in sport, the challenges go beyond the game itself. Perhaps you’ve faced barriers as a woman trying to break into coaching or management. Maybe your team has been overlooked for sponsorship or media coverage. Or perhaps you’ve seen policies or attitudes that need to be challenged.
If you or someone you know has experienced injustice or mistreatment in sport, this is your chance to bring it into the light. By sharing these stories, we can raise awareness, spark conversations, and push for change.
We also know that not every talented female athlete in Ireland gets the recognition she deserves—especially those in minority sports. If your daughter or someone in your circle is breaking boundaries, excelling in sport, or even just starting her journey in a way that deserves acknowledgment, let us know. These are the stories that inspire others and challenge societal norms.
Why Share?
When we talk about the challenges women face in sport, we create a ripple effect. Every story shared has the potential to inspire action, foster empathy, and drive progress. By telling your story, you can:
- Empower others who may be going through similar struggles.
- Highlight systemic issues that need to be addressed.
- Call for change in policies, attitudes, and practices.
- Celebrate resilience and advocacy in the face of adversity.
We also know that sharing difficult stories can feel vulnerable or risky. That’s why we allow anonymous submissions. If you’d prefer to protect your identity, you can still have your voice heard while maintaining your privacy.
