The Battle of the Sexes was played 50 years ago today.

More than a tennis match, it was a catalyst for social change & one of the most important days of my life.

We have come a long way since 1973, but we are not done yet.

Let's keep going for it.

Huge shout-out to our sporty friend and #sportsdiplomacy sister-in-arms @lempika7 on her new book #BasketballEmpire: France and the Making of a Global NBA and WNBA. Congratulations!! You know 🏀 is close to our hearts 😉

[Dr Lindsay Sarah Krasnoff @lempika7]

🎉Publication Day🤩

Thrilled that my 2️⃣book is now available via @BloomsburyHist

1️⃣3️⃣2️⃣yrs after its birth, 🏀 is in the midst of a global takeover led by–but not exclusive to–the #NBA, and France plays a role.

Breaking barriers happens each and every day, and the first women's weightlifting championship held in 1987 paved the way for the next generation of female weightlifters.

Earlier today, our alumna Silvija (Class of 2016) discussed the model of sports diplomacy she's helped craft in North Macedonia, showing us all how one individual can make a huge difference. Way to go Silvija, we're so proud of you! 🙌

In '79, the UN adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), yet one more step towards greater #genderequality. In '23, there are 165 states that have ratified or acceded to the international treaty, according to the UN. #Title IX

[UT_SportPeaceSociety @SportandPeaceUT]

Last year, we celebrated 50 yrs of Title IX and how its #sport and #education benefits pushed for greater gender equality. This year, we’ve got something exciting planned to mark Friday’s #TitleIX 51st anniversary. Let the countdown begin! #genderequality #inclusion #socialchange
