With women we run: Safety in running

Being harassed as a woman while running has become a norm. Because of this, women have had to change their behaviour to avoid being catcalled, followed or body shamed.

WITH WOMEN WE RUN: CREATING SAFE SPACES FOR EVERYONE

In 2022, adidas Runners successfully launched the WITH WOMEN WE RUN initiative to demonstrate our commitment to collectively end harassment and any form of gender-based violence and vulnerable groups, making running spaces safer for all.

WITH WOMEN WE RUN: HOW TO BE AN ALLY

While we may not feel that it directly impacts us, we play a key role in challenging gender equality in sport.

LEARN TO BECOME A LIFELONG ALLY

In part one of our WITH WOMEN WE RUN initiative, we learned that the root cause of gender-based violence is a wider culture that accepts, perpetuates and promotes a view of women and vulnerable groups as unequal.

WITH WOMEN WE RUN - OUR AR COMMITMENT

Earlier in 2022, we launched WITH WOMEN WE RUN — a powerful initiative that has become a permanent pillar in our adidas Runners community values. Through this, our collective goal is to help end harassment and any forms of violence against women to make running safer for all.

IT'S TIME WE ADDRESS HARASSMENT AND SAFETY IN RUNNING.

As a global running community, adidas Runners is committed to holding ourselves accountable, becoming allies, and leading with transparency. We acknowledge the growth that we as a community need to undertake, to uphold our values, for the sake of all our diverse community members.
