Sport universities and faculties play a crucial role in educating students about gender equality and gender-based violence and also in contributing this knowledge to the wider sports ecosystem through the coaches, mangers, physical education teachers, and the athletes they train and teach. Additionally, sports universities and faculties can serve as model institutions, inspiring other higher education institutions and the broader sports ecosystem to promote gender equality through the development of inclusive, innovative, intersectional and impactful gender equality plans.
