2 A global perspective comes from two global organisations that have global
influence – the United Nations and the World Health Organization. This
perspective is that it is important that more women participate in sporting events
not only to promote gender equality to impact other areas such as the employment
sector (March, 2019), but also to inspire and encourage young girls to do more
sport to be healthier (Bray, 2019).
