A new toolkit is being launched in New Zealand to address the low participation rates of transgender and non-binary individuals in organized sports, currently standing at just 14%. The resource challenges national sporting codes to re-evaluate their concepts of fairness and inclusivity. It aims to guide clubs in creating welcoming and supportive environments for all athletes, regardless of gender identity. The toolkit likely offers practical advice and strategies for policy changes and training. This initiative responds to a clear gap in accessibility and inclusion within the New Zealand sporting landscape. By fostering greater acceptance, organisers hope to encourage more trans and non-binary Kiwis to engage in the benefits of team sports and physical activity. The project intends to make sports more representative and inclusive for the wider community.
