 Griffith University is really at the forefront of researching women in sport. Currently there is a real tide turning with women's sport. We're seeing more and more visibility in the media, more and more discussion on social media about women's sport, equal pay, women on boards, all of those issues. The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games provides a unique opportunity for sports to realise the growth potential for women and girls' participation in sport. What do women want? What do girls want? What will facilitate their participation in sport? What are the motivating factors? What are the barriers to their participation? I think there's a big question in Australian society and also that comes out through the Commonwealth Games about how do we understand equity and diversity and inclusiveness at all levels. What I find with leadership in sport though is that when you have more women involved you have a diversity of thought and that leads to better social outcomes for the sport but I think it also leads to better economic outcomes as well.
