Kate Dale, the This Girl Can campaign lead, explains to Female First’s Lucy Roberts, what was preventing women from exercising during lockdown and what men can do as allies to help women feel more comfortable when getting active.
This Girl Can, a campaign set up in 2015 to promote women in sport and to encourage them to get active, wants to close the gender activity gap between men and women.
Before the pandemic hit, the gap was at just 3.9%, but with 1.2million fewer women getting active during the first lockdown, the figure is now closer to 10%.
Kate Dale, the This Girl Can campaign lead, explains, in an exclusive interview, what was preventing women from exercising during lockdown and what men can do as allies to help women feel more comfortable when getting active, whether that be working out in parks or going to recently re-opened gyms.
