Take Action

Do you believe that individuals are entitled to their human rights?

It is a human right for individuals, including young girls, to wear clothes of their choice.

 

Young girls should be able to express their identities and values through their wardrobes.

Young girls deserve to participate in the sports that they love without being forced to wear vulgar and inappropriate uniforms. 

You can support our movement and our journey to eliminate the sexualisation of young women in sport, in various ways.

 

With your help we can achieve a lot more!

Sign Our Petition

By age 14,  may girls are dropping out of sport at two times the rate of boys (Women’s Sport Foundation, 2021, para.1). Through their 25 years of research, The Women’s Sport Foundation has identified key factors which contribute to this alarming statistic. One key factor is physical appearance and concerns about standing out.

 

All girls are entitled to feel comfortable and confident in the clothes that they wear.

 

Help us to achieve our mission and vision – we want to eradicate and abolish outdated and gendered uniform policies.

 

With your signatures, we will be able to approach local sporting federations in Melbourne and request them to create inclusive uniform policies that allows for freedom of choice.
