JustCanoeIt! is a website that is working towards gender equality in Canoe. Specifically, they are working to get equal canoe events added to the 2012 Olympic program. Currently there are no Canoe sprint events for women and no canoe slalom events. The women also compete in a much shorter Kayak race than the men and do not have as many Kayak race options. The website is run by a group called WomenCAN International.

The website has an extensive "Myths and Facts" section about Women's Canoe, with many points that were similar to the case made by the Women's Ski Jumpers.
