🥊 Only 10% of people involved in boxing are women!
According to recent statistics, the uptake of sports like boxing by women and girls is incredibly low compared to that of their male counterparts. Why?
🤦♀️ A lack of self-belief and confidence?
😨 A fear of negative or derogatory behaviour?
👊 The violent connotations of the sport?
I'm thrilled to have begun work on a series of community and society focussed documentaries designed to raise awareness of the tremendous work going on all around us.
Over the past few weeks, I've been fortunate enough to spend some time with Peterborough Police Boxing Club and boxer Hannah-May Anderson to help promote the benefits of boxing and to find out what it's like to be female in a male-dominated sport.
