Every young girl with a dream of becoming an Olympian deserves the chance to compete on a fair and level playing field. In the UK, we’ve long championed values of fairness, equality, and respect in sports. But now, these values and the future of women’s sports are at risk.

We’re calling on the UK government to protect fair competition in sports for women and girls by ensuring that female categories are reserved for those who do not have the competitive advantages associated with male puberty. When women’s sports are open to competitors who possess these physiological benefits, it undermines the achievements of female athletes and reduces opportunities for young girls across the country to pursue their dreams on an equal footing.

Women and girls in sports face unique challenges and overcome incredible obstacles to reach the highest levels of competition. They deserve the chance to compete without facing unfair physical disadvantages that jeopardise their opportunities and hard work.

This is not about exclusion; it’s about fairness. It’s about ensuring that young girls in the UK, our future Olympians, can compete with confidence and pride, knowing that their achievements are measured against others with the same physical starting point. As a society, we must protect and celebrate the integrity of women’s sports for generations to come.

We urge the UK government and sports authorities to:

*** Establish clear, fair, and science-based guidelines for female categories in sports.
*** Ensure that girls and women in the UK have the right to compete in protected categories that honour their hard work and dedication.
*** Stand by the principles of fairness and equal opportunity that make sports a place of inspiration and achievement for all.
*** Join us in calling on UK leaders to take a stand for women’s sports. Let’s protect the dreams of every young girl in Britain who dares to dream of becoming a champion.

Sign this petition to show your support for fair competition in women’s sports. Together, we can safeguard the future of sports for women and girls in the UK.
