Women in Sport Initiative - 2025

- the journey so far!

This very important initiative was launched in 2020 by various Irish sporting bodies, including Athletics Ireland, to encourage the inclusion,  participation and give greater support to our female athletes. 
​
More media coverage of our women in sport is critical.

Clane Athletic Club actively supports this initiative.

The Women in Sport 2020 Club Charter

What is the 20x20 club charter?

WHAT IS THE 20X20 CLUB CHARTER IS ASKING CLUBS TO DO?
To create a cultural shift in our perception of girls and women in sport.
There is so much to celebrate when it comes to women’s sport in Ireland, but there isn’t enough noise. We’re making some noise because if she can’t see it, she can’t be it.

20×20 had three targets to reach by the end of 2020:
  • 20% more media coverage of women in sport
  • 20% more female participation at player, coach, referee & administrative level
  • 20% more attendance at women’s games and events

If we all play, we all win.
20×20 is about creating a more inclusive, healthier Ireland – it’s not a ‘women for women’ initiative; it’s an ‘all of society for all of society’ movement. We’re asking all sections of Irish society to SHOW YOUR STRIPES and pledge one small action to support women and girls in sport and physical activity in Ireland.
