The President Kersti Kaljulaid Foundation (PKF), founded by the former President of Estonia, is launching a Europe-wide project Her Turn, together with Milton and Out of the Box International (OTB), which focuses on advancing gender equality and leadership opportunities for women in sports.
“Sport is a unique field that unites people of all ages, nationalities, and genders. Yet, sports leadership today remains largely male-dominated,” said Triin Adamson, Head of Sports Programmes at the President Kaljulaid Foundation. A recent report by the European Commission found that only 14% of leaders in European sports federations are women – a figure that has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. “To advance women’s leadership in sport, we need more visible role models, mentors, and professional networks. By creating equal opportunities, we can make the sports sector stronger and more dynamic,” Adamson added.
“Her Turn allows us to contribute our expertise to empowering women in the sports sector – strengthening the development of female leaders and sports organizations, amplifying diverse voices in the field, and fostering opportunities for international collaboration,” said Khris‑Marii Pruunsild, Organisational Development Consultant at Miltton.
