5pm to 6pm (AEST) / 7pm to 8pm (NZST) 

Dear @{aspediacrm-person-firstname},

ANZSLA invites you to attend a webinar discussing the fundamental rights of female athletes in sport: how sporting regulations and domestic laws interact to impact rights in sport, with guest speakers Jennifer Darmody (Litigation Associate, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP, New York) and Chloe Hosking OLY (Lawyer, Synergy Law & Founder, Hosking Bikes).  This session will be introduced by Michelle Campbell (ANZSLA Director).

This presentation aims to shed light on the evolving legal protections for female athletes in sports, focusing on the interaction between sporting regulations and domestic legal frameworks. By examining the regulatory landscapes of the United States and Australia, we will explore recent changes and developments that have shaped the current landscape of protections for female athletes. This analysis provides valuable insights for sporting organisations, governing bodies, clubs, leagues, player associations, athletes, and legal practitioners.
