Leading figures from the world’s largest sporting network for women have paid tribute to the University of Chichester for its commitment to improving gender equity.

Pioneers from the IWG, the International Working Group on Women and Sport, met academics to discuss plans to develop scholarly research to challenge global issues faced by women.

It builds on the two organisations’ existing partnership, through university research centre the Anita White Foundation (AWF), which established an archive at Chichester to preserve the heritage of the IWG.

Co-chair Raewyn Lovett was joined by secretary general Rachel Froggatt for the meeting in Chichester, which discussed developing the archive and sharing expertise.

Ms Lovett said: “The archive at Chichester is a fantastic tool for women in sport generally but is extremely important for the IWG to document its history.
