THE THROUGH HER EYES PROJECT

MISSION STATEMENT

The Through Her Eyes Project is dedicated to using multimedia to create a global movement to bring awareness and support to women’s sports around the world. Through Her Eyes profiles athletes of all ages and abilities to showcase women’s voices and their collective experiences of what they gain from participation in sports and the challenges they face in pursuing a space to play. Through Her Eyes produces traveling exhibitions of the profiles of these women, comprised of photographs and documentaries, to encourage women to play, increase funding for women’s sports and create opportunities for women to get in the game both on and off the field. Through Her Eyes works with local organizations to create, organize and fund lasting opportunities for women to play sports in year round leagues.
