Women athletes deserve to be seen for their performance, competence and results — not reduced to appearance, emotions or stereotypes. Before you post, ask: Would I describe a male athlete the same way? Think. Challenge. Represent. #WomenInSports #FairRepresentation

Every headline. Every image. Every story. They all have an impact. How we communicate about women athletes shapes how society sees women in sport. 🔎 What story do we tell? 📸 What image do we choose? ✍️ What words do we use? Better choices can change the narrative.

ONLY 7 MINUTES In 39 Portuguese TV sports-news episodes analysed by POWER, women athletes received just 7 minutes of airtime. Only 5 episodes mentioned them; male athletes appeared in 84.6%. Positive coverage isn’t enough when it remains the exception. #POWERProject
