What is Title 9 (IX)?

Title IX is a section of the landmark Educational Amendments, a piece of U.S. legislation that prohibits gender discrimination of any kind in schools. The gains made by women in physical activity and sport owe much to this important equal-opportunity legislation passed in the United States in 1972. The legislation allowed girls and women the same physical education and sports opportunities that men had long taken for granted.

What are some examples of gender-based discrimination in sport?

Women sports get less promotion, less media attention and therefore less money into their league developments. Less money in lead developments means less importance, which means worse treatments. For example, smaller training rooms or harsh working conditions.
