Tools to Evaluate Gender Equity in Schools

The Women's Law Project has released A Guide to Gender Equity in Athletics: Are Schools Giving Female Athletes a Sporting Chance? This guide is designed to help students, athletes, administrators, athletic directors, coaches, and parents understand the rights students have under Title IX, a federal law that requires schools to give young women and girls equal opportunities and benefits in their sports programs. This guide explains the legal requirements of Title IX and Pennsylvania laws that apply to athletic equity, provides tools for evaluating gender equity in your school's athletic program, and suggests strategies for addressing any unfair treatment you find.
