Part 3/7:
The discussion highlights the urgent need for legislative and policy reforms. The speaker advocates for the Australian government to follow the example set by the United States—mandating separate sports categories for women and girls. This step is seen as vital to safeguard the integrity of women’s sports and prevent the erosion of opportunities for female athletes. The speaker warns that without this intervention, women’s sports in Australia will continue to be compromised, mirroring issues faced elsewhere, such as in the U.S. under former President Donald Trump, who took steps to protect women’s sports funding.
