'Unfair Play - The Battle For Womens Sport' makes the case that this callous indifference to women in sport is the latest stage in a long history of sexism on the part of sport’s higher-ups & provides the facts, science & arguments that will help us ♀️ get the justice we deserve.
Sharron was part of @fairplaywomen's panel 'Defending Women's Sports' at #FiLiA2022, which you can read about here:

🧵Daily I’m astonished by the solidarity of the sisterhood. Yes factions arise and YES these cut deep but decpite all of this we still manage to come together for a shared goal. Even if we are working separately in our corners finessing our style of activism when we
come together, like @FiLiA_charity AMAZING things happen.
Women share archived articles those who can’t afford subscriptions can stay informed.
#FiLiA2022 had concessionary rates for tickets making it more affordable.
And drinks are liberally brought down the pub.

For all the infighting and talk of factions WE ARE UNITED. We all share in the same goal of limiting harm and seeming it’s reach.
Our reasons may differ but we are in this together. We must build on our shared goals because when we do

I was with @2022arrested when she was arrested for the heinous crime of asking a man to leave the female toilets in a bar. In a classic case of guilt by association the 3 of us with her were also kicked out. The bouncer took the drinks we just paid for and spilled them on us.
I asked the female staff member what happened. She said B asked a tw to leave the female toilets. I asked what's a tw. She called me transphobic. I asked her what transphobic means. She said something like disrespect of people who have transitioned. I asked what transition means.
She called me transphobic. Her and the bouncers demanded we leave. After some back and forth with them, I exited the bar while gleefully ripping the piss out of the burley bouncer who seemed to enjoy his authority. He told me he didn't know if his mother was a man or a woman 😂
Introduction by @rebelyarns. It's important and necessary for feminists to discuss strategy. Where better than FiLiA. #WPUKFiLiA.
We are making a space for respectful disagreement. It's a skill to be able to disagree well - let's not waste the opportunity. #WPUKFiLiA
Pragna Patel introduced. She's talking about the circumstances we find ourselves in #WPUKFiLiA. The rise of the far and religious right.

1/ FiLiA is driven by the passion + dedication of its team.
Our annual event is unfunded and organised by volunteers. In 2019 we measured the Woman-hours that made FiLiA happen ... 8,344! It's more now, as FiLiA has grown.
Some things along the way ...

2/ We took FiLiA out of London to reach more Women and to grow the movement. Our CEO moves every year to hear from and engage local Women.
We gained charitable status.
We started the Friends of FiLiA scheme to support Women to participate in FiLiA.
