Reigning European and Icelandic handball champions, Valur women’s team, have stepped into the spotlight not only for their sporting achievements but also for their leadership in the global fight for gender equality. Key findings include:21% of professional women athletes experienced sexual violence as children in sport — double the rate of men. Many women athletes avoid reporting abuse for fear of retaliation or damage to their careers. By placing one of its most successful sports teams at the centre of a global campaign, Iceland is again punching above its weight — using sport not just to win trophies but to drive social change. The March Forward campaign now calls on sports clubs worldwide to join the movement, record their marches, and challenge others.
