Nike, stop designing objectifying uniforms for female Olympic athletes

The Issue

Nike continues to reduce coverage for women's competitive clothing in their Olympic sets. First they reduced the coverage on the rear, now they have reduced frontal coverage.  We demand gender parity in athletic clothing. This needs to stop now. 

 

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by Nike's recent release of track suits for female Olympic athletes, which feature significantly reduced coverage. This reduction not only sexualizes and objectifies women but also undermines their comfort, dignity, and performance.

 

Such designs perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes and fail to provide female athletes with the same level of respect and professionalism as their male counterparts. We call on Nike to immediately halt the production and distribution of these uniforms and to commit to gender parity in all aspects of their athletic apparel, ensuring that women athletes are treated with the same level of respect and consideration as men.
