The contribution of women and girls is critical to the development and growth of the game, with a vast number of females involved in every aspect of football around the country.
This year, Women’s Week is focused on leadership - celebrating female leadership across all levels of Australia’s game from community to the elite level.
Of Australia’s major football codes, AFL holds the closest ratio of male (57 per cent) to female fans (43 per cent), and 42 per cent of the national television viewing audience is female.
Women make up over a third of Hawthorn’s full-time staff at the Ricoh Centre.
