WASHINGTON, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent Women's Forum (IWF), the leading national women's organization advocating for better policies and more freedom for women, together with its grassroots membership arm Independent Women's Network, has registered an official National Women's Sports Week observed annually during the week of June 23 to recognize female athletes — past, present, and future — for their athletic participation and achievement in sport.

Key Points: 
  • The inaugural 2022 National Women's Sports Week takes place June 20-26 and coincides with the 50th anniversary of Title IX, landmark legislation passed in 1972.
  • How to observe National Women's Sports Week:
    Champion female athletes for their teamwork, resilience, and success.
  • To celebrate 2022 National Women's Sports Week, IWF along with female athletes, parents, advocates, and fourteen organizations from across the political spectrum will rally for "Our Body, Our Sports" on Thursday, June 23, at 11 a.m.
  • In a zero-sum competition, the inclusion of male-bodied athletes in women's sport inevitably denies opportunities to female athletes.
