Representation matters: how sport is empowering a generation of diverse young women

Rimla Akhtar MBE works at the heart of diversity and inclusion in sport, from grassroots level all the way up to her roles with the Football Association, the Rugby Football League and the Muslim Women’s Sport Foundation. Rob Scotland sits down with Rimla for an exciting Q&A to discuss all things sport and young people, from how campaigns such as Play Like A Girl can empower young girls to overcome the barriers to getting involved in sport, to helping under-represented communities feel visible and accepted in the sporting world, the rise of modest clothing ranges and how brands have the power to create change.
