Using Social Media to Empower Women in Running

by | Apr 6, 2021 | Gender equity | 0 comments

In Instagram I’ve come across many sexist comments. Men that only focus on body and looks instead of sport achievements. I want to drive a change in perspective: show that women are strong by helping fellow female athletes showcase that they are amazing in what they do regardless of their gender.

  • Through my Running Instagram I want to show gender equality in running. I want to express that you can run as strong as men and have your voice heard within the sport community even while being a women. @runningpoet
