Connecting through common goals

Women in News and Sport (WINS) provides Indo-Pacific female journalists with the tools to forge successful careers in the male dominated world of sports media.

Focusing on skills training and mentorship, WINS connects early-career and senior journalists to strengthen best practice. A growing alumni program adds to this valuable network.

WINS has supported 355 participants from 11 countries to deliver ground-breaking coverage of the world's biggest sports events, including the FIFA Women's World Cup.

By promoting women in sport from elite to community levels, and amplifying women's voices in sports coverage, WINS makes an important contribution to gender equality and social inclusion in our region, highlighting the crucial role of media development.
