This resolution proposes designating the week of June 23 through June 29, 2025, as "National Women's Sports Week." This observance aims to recognize the significant expansion of opportunities for female athletes since the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and its crucial role in guaranteeing equal athletic opportunities. The resolution calls for appropriate programs and activities during this week to celebrate individual female athletes, honor their coaches and parents, and promote equal access to athletic opportunities for both sexes. Crucially, it also supports legislative efforts to protect single-sex sports , emphasizing that equal opportunities for women in sports depend on maintaining separate teams and competitions based on biological sex.
