This morning I stumbled across another ground breaking women's sports group thanks to twitter.


The Anita While Foudnation ("AWF") is a newly established organization based at the University of Chichester. According to their website, the aims of the Foundation are to provide a central point of reference for scholars and activists in the worldwide women and sport movement and to support the education and development of women leaders from developing countries.

The AWF has two main components: an archive of original materials relating to the international women and sport movement and a fund which will enable women leaders from developing countries to access educational and development opportunities and resources at the University of Chichester, including access to some of its noted Honorary degree holders.

Check out the video below which is a recording of the panel discussion that took place at the AWF Launch in September of 2011.

The AWF has already taken strong positions on issues that are important to women athletes, including this position on the right for female boxers to choose what they wear while competing.
