The Impact of Sports Uniforms on Girls

Professor Clare Hanlon is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, in Melbourne. She recently led a research team that completed a study focused on sport uniforms for girls. After the release of those findings ‘What girls want for sport uniforms’, Cadbury and Women Sport Australia provided $150k grant for clubs to change their sport uniforms for girls using the infographic as a stimulant for clubs. Since this time Clare has received numerous emails from associations, clubs and schools where these insights provided the evidence they needed to change uniform policies and regulations. A workshop will be presented at the upcoming IWG Conference in New Zealand, and this research has become a promotional feature for the Active Lives theme of the conference. A follow up research is expected to soon be launched by the State Minister based on how girls feel who recently changed their sport uniform to one of choice and comfort.
