Women’s leadership and sports in the Pacific

The Pacific Women Sports Administration Program (PWSAP) sits under the umbrella of Pacific Women Lead, Australia’s regional gender initiative aimed at ensuring that Pacific women and girls, in all their diversity, are safe and share equitably in resources, opportunities and decision-making, with men and boys.

The overarching goal of PWSAP is to improve the administration of Pacific women’s sporting organisations so that women and girls can access greater opportunities and career pathways in sport.

This publication documents examples of emerging good practice in promoting women’s leadership through sport across the Pacific, based on the experiences and lessons learned during the implementation of PWSAP to date.

It brings together the innovative and effective models, practices and strategies implemented by partner organisations and extends the knowledge base on effective support for women’s leadership within the Pacific Oceania context.
