Gender inequalities still persist in Sport and manifest through access to and practice of sport, access to responsibilities and participation in sport governing bodies, media coverage and gender-based violence.  

The main goal of the sport w/o stereotypes project is to promote equal access and participation for women and men at all levels and in all fields of sport, and in particular, to encourage and increase the access and the participation of male and female in sport typically categorized like ‘gender based sport’, by challenging gender stereotypes and any discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The total budget of the project is 380 000. The budget of Lapland University of Applied Sciences is 30006 euros.
