Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 5, 2025, as Girls and Women in Sports Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim February 5, 2025, as Girls and Women in Sports Day in New York State, aligning with the national observance of National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). The resolution highlights the historical significance of the day, which was first observed in 1987 to honor Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman and has since evolved to celebrate women's achievements in sports and promote gender equality. It references Title IX, a landmark 1972 civil rights law that dramatically improved sports opportunities for women, noting that prior to the law, only one in 27 girls had access to sports, compared to two in five today. The resolution emphasizes the importance of sports in instilling values like teamwork and pride, and aims to inspire girls and women to participate in sports, break gender stereotypes, and recognize their potential. By requesting the governor's proclamation, the resolution seeks to officially acknowledge and support women's athletic achievements and continued progress in sports.
