The push for parity: can women’s sport reach new heights in 2022?

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

The year 2021 was a record-breaking one for women’s sport, with The Hundred and the Women’s Super League drawing in millions of new viewers. But with boxer Katie Taylor set to headline Madison Square Garden - plus a home Euros and Commonwealth Games - could 2022 be even bigger? We’ll be assessing the reasons for the growth but also the hurdles still to be cleared in the drive for parity with men. We’ll hear from Taylor and fight promoters Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul, plus cricketer and gender equality Phoebe Graham and England’s record goalscorer Ellen White. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Jo Currie, Molly McElwee Producer: Sam Sheringham
