Which initiative is associated with promoting girls' participation in sport?

• A. This Girl Can
• B. Chance to Shine
• C. Kick It Out
• D. Rainbow laces

Answer: (A)

Campaigns to increase girls' participation in sport aim to remove barriers, boost confidence, and show real female athletes enjoying activity. The best-fitting option is This Girl Can, a Sport England campaign that specifically encourages women and girls to take part in sport and physical activity, addressing social pressures like fear of judgment and stereotypes that can hold girls back. Chance to Shine focuses on cricket development in schools, Kick It Out works to tackle discrimination and promote equality in sport, and Rainbow Laces promotes LGBTQ+ inclusion. While all promote inclusion, This Girl Can is the one aimed most directly at increasing girls’ participation.
