Girls! 👋 We know being in sports can come with challenges, but you’re not alone. Here are some things you might face and how to tackle them:
Breaking Gender Stereotypes 💪: People might say sports aren’t for girls, but don’t let that stop you! You belong in sports just as much as anyone else. Show them what you’re made of! 🌟
Finding Role Models 🌈: It can be tough when you may not see many women in sports, but remember, you can be the inspiration for others. You’re paving the way for future athletes! 🏅
Unequal Opportunities ⚖️: Sometimes, it feels like boys get more chances or resources, but don’t let that discourage you. Keep pushing forward, and know that your voice matters. 📣
Body Image Pressures 💕: You might feel pressure to look a certain way, but your strength and skills are what truly matter. Celebrate your body for what it can do! 🏋️♀️
Facing Discrimination 🚫: If you ever feel underestimated or treated unfairly, stand tall and speak up. You deserve respect and equality. ✊
Balancing Life and Sports 🕒: Juggling school, family, and sports can be hard, but you’re stronger than you think. Stay organized, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. 📝

Physical Health
Maintaining physical health is essential for female athletes to perform at their best and sustain long-term well-being. Girls can grow and develop their physical health by engaging in regular physical activities, such as sports, fitness routines, or recreational exercises. These activities help improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall fitness. Support Squad encourages active lifestyles and provides resources to help girls stay fit, such as training programs, workshops, and access to professional guidance. Proper nutrition, hydration, and adequate rest are also vital components of physical health. By prioritizing these aspects, girls can build a strong foundation for their athletic performance and overall health.
General Well-Being
General well-being encompasses both physical and emotional health, creating a balanced and holistic approach to personal development. Support Squad emphasizes the importance of integrating these elements to help girls thrive in sports and beyond. By encouraging active participation in sports, fostering a positive mindset, and providing resources for self-care, girls can achieve a sense of fulfillment and happiness. Support Squad also works with parents to ensure they are equipped to support their daughters effectively, creating a nurturing environment that values inclusion and growth. Together, these efforts help girls develop into empowered individuals who can lead confidently in all aspects of life. .
Emotional Health
Emotional well-being is equally important for female athletes, as it directly impacts their confidence, resilience, and ability to handle challenges. Support Squad fosters emotional health by creating a supportive environment where girls can build a positive mindset and self-assurance. Programs and community events provide opportunities for girls to connect with peers, share experiences, and develop a sense of belonging. Additionally, addressing mental health through stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, and open communication can help girls navigate the pressures of sports and life. With emotional support from parents, coaches, and peers, girls can grow into confident and resilient individuals.
Introducing the WUKA tribe – let’s shake things up 👊
Hey You’re officially invited to join a rebellion against period shame, single-use waste, and products that don’t have your back (or your bum). 🩸
At WUKA, we don’t just make leak-proof undies. We invented the UK’s first-ever pair that can handle super heavy flow... that’s up to 12 tampons or 8 pads’ worth of blood. And yep, they’re comfy AF. 😎
We’re here to change how the world sees periods and we’ve done it before:
Our founder took on the UK government… and won. No period tax on period pants.🤌🏼We created patented stretch technology that flexes across 4 sizes (because your body isn’t static). flexing with your body from XS to 6XL, so nobody gets left out.✨And our TENCEL™️ fabric? It’s 3.5x softer than cotton. Like, "cloud on your vulva" soft. 🥰
This is a brand that actually gives a damn about the planet, about health, and about people who bleed.
If that’s a mission you can get behind, then welcome to the WUKA tribe......

Welcome to a World Where Your Period is Your Power
Lets embrace and applaud -👏 International Day of the Girl 2025. This year’s theme, "The girl I am, the change I lead," is all about recognising your strength, your voice, and your ability to make a difference—starting with something completely natural: your period.
Let’s talk about it. Right now, millions of girls around the world miss school every month because they don’t have access to safe, affordable period products. Some grow up feeling like their period is something to hide or be ashamed of. But here’s the truth: your period is a normal, natural part of life. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, and it should never hold you back from achieving your dreams.
Periods Are Powerful, Not Shameful When we talk openly about periods, we break the silence and build confidence. Your period is not a secret—it’s a superpower! Learning about your body and understanding how it works is the first step to feeling empowered.
Having access to the right products can make a huge difference. Reusable period pants, for example, are a game-changer. They’re comfortable, long-lasting, and eco-friendly, helping you save money and protect the planet you’re inheriting.
You’re Not Alone Periods aren’t just a “girl thing.” When boys learn about menstruation, they can become allies who support you instead of making it awkward. When teachers and parents talk openly about periods, it helps create a world where you can feel proud of who you are. Together, we can make sure every girl has the tools to succeed—because your period should never stop you from showing up at school, in sports, or in life.
You Are the Change The girl you are today—the one learning, leading, and speaking up—is already changing the world. You have the power to inspire others, break down barriers, and create a future where every girl has access to period products, education, and confidence.
So, let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s celebrate your potential and recognise your power. Your period is not just a part of life—it’s a part of the change you’re leading.
You’ve Got This. The Future is Yours.
Stay Confident and Keep Playing the Sport You Love.
Periods shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love. But for too long, they’ve been holding girls back from sports—not because of a lack of talent or dedication, but because of challenges like limited access to period products, no hygienic disposal options, fear of leaks, embarrassment, and silence.
Right now, across the UK, many girls are navigating these challenges while trying to stay focused on the game. In fact, 78% of teenage girls avoid sports when on their period, and 50% of girls leave sport before age 17, with periods being one of the key reasons.
