To Commemorate Title IX and Celebrate Women’s Contributions in Education and Athletics
On June 23, 1972, Title IX was signed into law, marking a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality in education and athletics.
The Impact of Title IX
Since its enactment, the number of girls participating in school sports has increased dramatically:
- Only 1 in 27 girls participated in school sports when Title IX was passed.
- Today, that number is 2 in 5.
The Ripple Effect of Title IX
Beyond just increased participation rates, Title IX has also led to:
- Over 1 billion women who have played college sports since its enactment.
- Increased funding for women’s athletics.
- More representation of women in coaching and leadership positions.
- Paved the way for countless women to excel in fields like science, technology, business, politics, and the arts.
A Call to Action
Let us continue to celebrate the progress made by Title IX and work towards ensuring that all women and girls have equal access to opportunities in education and athletics.
