This years theme is #YouBelong – highlighting how women and girls belong in all aspects of the game.

This can be from playing recreationally to on becoming a professional tour, as well as in other areas of the game such as coaching and refereeing.

• Interviews with Professional Players Amanda Sobhy, Nele Gilis and Tesni Evans on the importance of female representation in squash, the challenges women and girls face in the sport and how we can increase participation.
• We speak with Vanessa Atkinson and Laura Massaro, former professionals of the game who are inspiring other women to pursue careers in sport media.
• The expansion of our Women In Coaching Fund, which funds coaching qualifications for women in our sport, which has now launched its second phase in Malaysia in partnership with Nicol David Organisation.
