Title IX at 50: Sarah Axelson, Women's Sports Foundation

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, we speak with Sarah Axelson, Vice President of Advocacy at the Women’s Sports Foundation. Sarah joins RISE's Ian Cutler and Natalia Chino to discuss the impact of Title IX and the significance of this anniversary, assessing the landscape of women’s sports today and the progress made in respect to equality and inclusivity. She also discusses the additional barriers faced by girls and women of color and the deeper disparities that exist for them in comparison to white women and men in sports and beyond. Finally, Sarah talks about the efforts of the Women’s Sports Foundation, how they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equity and inclusion in sports.
