UNLOCK THE TOOLKIT HERE
As we commemorate International Women’s Day, EuroHockey as one of the partners in the EU funded WINS project are thrilled to unveil the results of this groundbreaking three-year initiative aimed at improving the recruitment, retention, and engagement of women sports officials (referees, judges, umpires etc). These new innovative tools and resources launched today are designed to engage, support, and elevate women officials across the world of sport.
Breaking Barriers, Shaping Futures
In the pursuit of gender equality and inclusivity in sport, officiating is a crucial area for consideration. While significant steps have been taken to promote gender equality in sport, one area that continues to demand attention is the representation of women in officiating roles. Today, on International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to breaking down barriers and shaping a future where women thrive in sports officiating.
As a WINS partner we are proud to introduce the Women Sport Officials Toolkit, a comprehensive resource designed to empower sport organisations in their quest to recruit, retain, and engage women officials.
Unlocking Potential Through Four Pillars
The Women Sport Officials Toolkit is structured around four pillars, each meticulously crafted to address the core elements of the process:
• Pillar 1: Women Officials Strategy and Planning
• Pillar 2: Recruitment, Management, and Retention
• Pillar 3: Marketing and Communication
• Pillar 4: Support Mechanisms and Positive Action
Navigating Your Journey with the Toolkit
The Women Sport Officials Toolkit goes beyond theoretical frameworks by providing practical tools and resources to guide sport organisations in their pursuit of gender inclusion. Whether you’re conducting a self-assessment of your current processes or seeking targeted learning resources, the toolkit offers a user-friendly interface tailored to your organisation’s needs.
Self-Assessment: A Path to Progress
Embark on your journey towards gender inclusivity by conducting a thorough self-assessment of your organisation’s processes. Through a series of targeted questions, visualise your organisation’s performance and identify areas for improvement. The self-assessment feature serves as a crucial first step in charting your path towards greater gender diversity in officiating roles.
Access Learning Resources: Empowering Change
Armed with insights from your self-assessment, access a curated selection of learning resources tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. From best practices in recruitment to strategies for retention and engagement, the toolkit equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to effect meaningful change.

The Women Sport Officials Toolkit represents more than just a resource—it’s a call to action. By embracing the principles of inclusivity and diversity, sports organisations can not only enhance the quality of officiating but also create a more equitable and empowering environment for all.
