Committees

Women's sport

Inquiry

MPs are to examine issues around the growth of women’s football, along with the challenges other women’s sporting organisations face in growing audiences and revenues and what needs to be done to bring about more parity between men’s and women’s sport.

The DCMS Committee inquiry will also look at the actions needed to tackle sexism and misogyny in sport and the reasons behind the disparity between the participation rates of boys and girls.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 3 February 2023. The Committee may be able to accept further written evidence but any person considering submitting evidence should email the committee team first at dcmscom@parliament.uk.
