Sport New Zealand has launched a campaign aimed at encouraging young women to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The campaign by the country’s sport governing body, called #ItsMyMove and created by Saatchi and Saatchi, uses young women in a film to share the comments and pressures they hear about trying to stay active.

This comes after research by Sport NZ showed by the age of 16, there is a 17% gap between male and female participation in sport and recreation in Aotearoa and by 17, this increases to 28%.

It also found 90% of young women want to be active and 96% of young women understand why physical activity is important for them, but comments like body image, judgement, time pressures, motivation and loss of fun put them off.

“#itsmymove is about creating a national conversation that drives change. Teenage girls drop out of physical activity at a faster rate than teenage boys and research has clearly told us why,” said Raelene Castle, chief executive of Sport New Zealand.

“The voice of young women became the inspiration for the TVC and the fantastic girls featured throughout the campaign are all genuine participants in the activities they represent.”

There are also digital content and resources available on itsmymove.org.nz for young women, parents and sector leaders like campaign toolkit and on-demand workouts designed specifically for teenage girls.
