Bill > HCR7

This resolution recognizes February 5, 2025, as National Girls & Women in Sports Day in Delaware, highlighting the ongoing challenges and progress in women's sports. The resolution acknowledges the significant increase in female athletic participation since Title IX's enactment in 1972, while also noting that disparities still exist, with only 60 percent of high school girls participating in sports. It celebrates inspiring female athletes, including Delaware natives Elena Delle Donne and Morgan Elizabeth Hurd, and other notable women who have made important contributions to sports. The resolution calls for continued support of Title IX, which mandates equitable treatment in educational sports programs, and aims to break down barriers of discrimination and inequality. By formally recognizing this day, the Delaware General Assembly seeks to honor women athletes, raise awareness about ongoing challenges, and commit to supporting future generations of female athletes by promoting fair treatment and increased opportunities in sports.
