Women In Sport

The women have in sport one of the sector where they are most vetoed because for a women to be able to dedicate herself professionally to the sport, would need a lots and good financiations that today are practically imposible. Currently, that situation is changing progresivelly although to a success achieved by a female team isn’t given as much importance as a men’s one.

We relate women with sports that include flexibility, rhythm, beauty… while we relate men to sports of strenght, endurance, power… That made the women who doesn´t fit in that idea seem aggressive, masculine and don’t value her triumphs.

Also the media give so less importance to the women’s sport, as there are hardly any images and information related to the sports practiced by women.

In relation to salaries, the men earn a lot of more money than women in the same sport. The best paid women ear the majority of her money from the publicity and collaborations with brands, not from the own sport.

So, we have still a lot to do for changing this situation and to considerate women’s sport and the women who do sport equal to the men’s treatment.
