Please sign our petiton!

We are a group of three girls who are all pationate about sport and feel that girls get treaten unfairly within our sport (football and basketball). As part of our Citizenship project, we are raising awareness and educating people about the issue of sexism in sport. As well as this we are going to be raising money for charities who are against sexism in sport.

We are trying to gain as many signatures as we can to show that people are aware of the issue and that people support our campaign in trying to reduce sexism and eventually put a stop to it all together.
