FIBA 3x3 Women's Series is on a mission to champion "women's empowerment and gender parity." Their players are some of the best in the world, yet these women are still not afforded equal pay and privileges as their male counterparts.
Further, acknowledging that women come into the game with different barriers and societal expectations is a major first step. One star player from Canada shows us how she shines on the court and as a mother: Meet Paige Crozon!
“Accessibility is really important,” said Paige Crozon, a two-times FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series winner with Team Canada. “Something I think FIBA does well – with its slogan being ‘from the streets to the Olympics’ – is that you only need a ball and five other friends to play the sport. By removing those barriers to sport, it will help young girls to continue to participate throughout their life.
“As a single parent, my experiences may differ from some of my male counterparts, so I think the sport has presented a platform to be able to speak about those issues and barriers as well as to celebrate in our successes. It’s therefore important for women to have the opportunities to play at a high level, to be compensated fairly in contrast to their male counterparts and to receive the attention and recognition that they deserve. This will provide a clear pathway for girls to follow.”
