Women’s Sport

We reaffirm women’s rights to fair play in sports.


Every place, every award a man takes in women’s sport is one taken from a woman.

World Athletics: The governing body for track and field and other running competitions, announced last month that transgender women who went through male puberty can no longer compete in women’s events at international competitions. The policy took effect on 31 March.

World Rugby: States that transwomen who transitioned post-puberty and have experienced the biological effects of testosterone during puberty and adolescence cannot currently play women’s rugby.
