28% of adolescent girls report no active days in the previous week, compared with 22% of boys. Only 11% of girls report seven active days, versus 17% of boys. This gap is not about girls’ interests or ability. Safer spaces, inclusive sport and recreation, and supportive school environments can help remove the barriers holding girls back. 🔗 bit.ly/4sG1L7r

So important 👏 Girls often drop out of activity around puberty because of body image, safety and fewer options, not lack of interest. Fun, flexible activities with friends and active role models at home make a real difference. What has worked best in the schools you've seen?

Kids with #longcovid #PAIS & #MEcfs dont have any active days at all. We need funding research treatment & care. The @WHO ignorance and neglect has got to stop. 🛑
