This Girl Can at the University of Exeter
This Girl Can celebrates active women doing their thing no matter how they do it, how they look or even how sweaty they get. Launched by Sport England in 2015, it challenges why women are less active than men. 1.75 Million fewer women exercised regularly than men in 2014 (Active People, Oct 2013/14). By celebrating a realistic vision of women and exercise in England, This Girl Can seeks to inspire and support women and liberate them from the judgements that hold them back. It tells the real stories of women who get active or play sports in the way that’s right for them using images that show what activity really looks like. 2.9 million women have been more active as a result of the campaign. 1.5 million have started or restarted exercise after a break (Sport England’s This Girl Can Survey – Kantar Public, November 2017). Barriers don’t just go away, however, and despite the campaign’s successes, we still have a way to go.
Year on year the University of Exeter Sport continues to support this campaign, offering a large variety of free female-led classes, activities and programmes to increase the female community of Exeter's participation in physical activity.
