National Girls and Women in Sports Day in  2024 will be celebrated on February 7th.

This annual event recognizes and honors  the achievements and positive influence  

of female athletes, coaches, and administrators.

It also emphasizes the importance of equal  opportunities in sports for girls and women.

The day serves as a reminder of the ongoing  fight for gender equity in sports and the  

power of sports to unlock the  potential of girls and women.

This celebration began in 1987 as a day  to remember Olympic volleyball player Flo  

Hyman for her athletic achievements and  advocacy for gender equality in sports.

It has since evolved into a broader observance  

that acknowledges the accomplishments of  girls and women in sports and continues  

to push for more inclusive and equitable  participation in all sports activities.
