Female Athletes: Same Score, Unequal Pay?
It's a well-known fact: male professional athletes earn more than female professional athletes. For example, in North America, male athletes are paid 21 times more than their female counterparts!
But why such a gap? How can we explain and address this systemic inequality in the world of sports?
What's certain is that female athletes are increasingly uniting to break the glass ceiling!
💪 S.P.O.R.T.I.V.E., the series that deciphers the societal challenges faced by female athletes around the world.
Directed by: Julie Quintard / Written by: Anaïs Bohuon - University Professor and socio-historian of the body, sport, and gender - and Amélie Coispel. Thanks to Typhaine Christiaen, sports expert at the AFD, for her review.
