CELEBRATING WOMEN
& GIRLS IN SPORT
Quoting Serena Williams, our photo contest "Overpower. Overtake. Overcome: A Visual Tribute to Women & Sport" aims to celebrate the diverse and resilient women and girls in sports. This exhibition showcases women’s journey to overpower stereotypes, overtake obstacles, and overcome barriers in all walks of life.
From rural fields and school playgrounds to refugee camps and elite sports stadiums, these global women and real-life role models are challenging the status quo. They are leveling the playing fields and pushing for transformation with courage and resilience, despite facing sparse resources and numerous challenges.
WHAT'S NEXT?
In collaboration with the Global Observatory for Gender Equality & Sport, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), UN Women, UNAIDS, MTV Staying Alive Foundation, Sport for Social Change Network South Africa, and Bobbi Brown, we are taking this photography exhibition global.
The winning photographs will be showcased in prestigious locations, including art galleries, selected museums, and UN offices in Johannesburg, Dakar, and many more.
Additionally, a virtual exhibition with a global reach will be hosted, allowing everyone to experience the powerful imagery.
SUPPORTING GRASSROOT ORGANIZATIONS
While selected photos will be displayed, a broader range of photos will be featured in the "Overpower. Overtake. Overcome: A Visual Tribute to Women & Sport" Exhibition Photobook, available for purchase.
Proceeds from the photobook sales will be donated to grassroots organizations that fearlessly fight for women's empowerment through physical education, physical activity, and sport (PEPAS).
Join us in celebrating and supporting the incredible women and girls who are making history through sport.
