Act now to ensure girls equal opportunity in sports!
Currently, girls receive 1.25 million fewer opportunities to play high school sports than boys. It is difficult for advocates to promote fairness in high school athletic programs because high schools are not required to report any data of their athletics programs to the public. Without information on how athletic opportunities and funds are being allocated in high schools, female students lack an important tool to make their case for "fair play." We need your help to convince Congress to pass the High School Athletics Accountability Act of 2009. |
