Project information
The overall objective of the project WSRO LBTI+ Women in Sport: Research & Outcomes was to start creating research data to reflect the situation regarding participation and visibility of LBTI+ women in sport, as individuals, and through their participation in mainstream and in LGTBIQ+ sports organisations, promoting equality and European values in and through sport by highlighting the needs, barriers, and challenges that they are presented with. While there is a certain focus on addressing homophobia in sport, discrimination, and violence against LBTI+ women is left largely unaddressed.
All partnering organisations are dedicated to inclusion and diversity, and gender equality issues, recognise the distant lack of research available on the participation and visibility of LBTI+ women in sport and are eager to take steps to remedy this with this project by conducting qualitative and quantitively research.
Survey results are now available
The project produced a survey about how LBTI+ women take part in physical activity & sport, gathered the data during 2024 and 2025, and now the analysis results are publicly available! Thank you all who participated in the project and the survey!
