Effective Anti-Racism Approaches for Women and Girls in Community Sport

This project investigates women and girls' experiences of, and responses to, racism in community sport; considers the intersectional impacts of reporting racism; and evaluates current anti-racism policies and reporting systems using a collaborative, co-design approach. The aims of the research are to: • identify and understand women and girls’ experiences of racism in community sport, and the implications for their social belonging and wellbeing • co-design with women and girls effective resources and racism reporting processes for community sport clubs • explore the benefits of an intersectional approach for creating positive and welcoming community sport environments for women and girls from Culturally and Racially Marginalised and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. The project is guided by the following key research questions: • How do women and girls from Culturally and Racially Marginalised and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds experience and respond to racism in community sport settings? • What would effective anti-racism policies, processes, initiatives and resources look like for Culturally and Racially Marginalised and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls involved in community sport?
