The resolution designates February 4th of each year as Women and Girls in Sports Day in New Jersey, recognizing the significant contributions of women and girls in athletics. Historically, sports opportunities were predominantly available to men, but over the past century, women and girls have increasingly fought for their right to participate in sports, despite ongoing gender disparities in funding, sponsorships, and resources. The resolution highlights the achievements of notable female athletes, such as New Jersey natives Carli Lloyd and Laurie Hernandez, who serve as role models and exemplify the importance of female representation in sports.

The resolution emphasizes the critical role that sports play in promoting physical and emotional health, as well as teaching essential life skills such as confidence, leadership, and teamwork. By designating this day, New Jersey aims to raise awareness of the challenges faced by women and girls in sports and to encourage greater participation and support for female athletes. The Governor is requested to issue an annual proclamation to commemorate the day, urging public officials and citizens to engage in activities that celebrate and promote gender equality in sports.
