Join us for the first event of the Gender Equality Dialogue series.
This month we will be focusing on the intersection of gender equality and sports, and we have teamed up with the NOVA SBE Surf Club to organize a discussion about the influence gender has in surfing.
Professional surfers and industry representatives will be shedding light on the structures that exist within surfing that limit the gender diversity we see at a professional level. We will also discuss the encouraging momentum women surfers have been making in the sport to foster greater representation.
We would love to hear your thoughts on the topic too, so come by!
