Laila Ali, Women’s Sports Foundation and California Women’s Law Center launch “V is for Victory. So is Title IX.”Campaign to Promote Equal Treatment for all Athletes
The girls of Miguel Contreras Learning Complex high school tested their skills against the pitching of Super Middle Weight Boxing Champion Laila Ali today when they played softball to celebrate the launch of “V Is for Victory. So is IX.”— a new educational campaign to ensure all athletes receive equal treatment in school and community sports programs. Launched by the Women’s Sport’s Foundation (WSF) and the California Women’s Law Center (CWLC), “V Is for Victory. So is IX.” teaches the public about the need for fair treatment in athletics and the importance of the federal Title IX law in promoting equality. The multifaceted campaign includes free educational workshops, an interactive website and published resources including a Title IX guide.
The participants at today’s event all attend Miguel Contreras Learning Complex high school and were thrilled to meet Laila and display their skills as part of a greater effort to create awareness around Title IX and equality. Ali, the undefeated Super Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World, is a long-time activist and supporter of women in sports and the perfect role model for today’s healthy, active girls. Today’s softball game is part of the nationwide kick-off of the “V is for Victory. So is IX.” campaign.
