This part of the GPA Annual Report 2024 outlines these advancements which have already had a massive impact on the lives of many players, including potentially life-saving interventions.

Representation & Equality

2024 will go down as a landmark year for our members in terms of Equality with the introduction of a Female Player Charter for the first time. This was only achieved through players collectively making their voice heard through the #UnitedForEquality campaign. This is undoubtedly one of the key highlights of this section of the GPA Annual Report 2024. Here we give an overview of the significant amount of work undertaken and results achieved on behalf of players throughout the year.
