We know there is a disparity in female representation in sports injury research and this needs to change to support physical activity and participation from adolescence and across oneโ€™s life journey

The following percentages are represented by females at SASMA ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”น 66% of our Executive Board
๐Ÿ”น We have a female CEO
๐Ÿ”น 40% of our Board

The 2026 theme aligns with the United Nations theme of โ€œRights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,โ€ which aims to ensure access to justice for all women and girls.

Celebrate those you work with in your Clinic, Club, in the Community and at home.

Thank you to the Women across the Sports Medicine Community in SA.
