This Girl Can
This Girl CanLink opens in a new window is a national campaign celebrating women being active no matter how they do it. The campaign celebrates active women who are doing their thing no matter how they look, how well they do it or how sweaty they get.
We are challenging the conventional idea of what exercise looks like and reaching out to women of all backgrounds and ethnicities who feel left behind by traditional exercise, helping them wiggle, jiggle, move and prove that judgement, time, money and energy are barriers that can be overcome.
We will be celebrating women in sport and inspiring Warwick Women staff and students to try something new or get back into physical activity through a week of beginner friendly sessions.
