Quotes "Esme Burge backs gender play gap campaign in women’s sport" (2020) "Esme Burge backs gender play gap campaign in women’s sport", TheHockeyPaper, 14 July 2020 by the Hockey Paper Stuff Some of us play sport as a living, and we’re really privileged to do so. But for the majority of people across the world, sport is a vehicle for keeping healthy and active. By accepting that there are barriers to women’s participation in particular, we are accepting that there isn’t a level playing field. That’s not a sustainable position to be in. Under participation in women’s sport is a global concern. There are plenty of factors that contribute to the problem – a lack of facilities, a lack of real and genuine opportunities, and a perception of being less valued than our male counterparts.
