Olympic Moms: Breaking Barriers and Advocating for Equity

In a groundbreaking move, the Paris 2024 Olympic village will feature a dedicated children’s nursery, addressing a long-standing challenge for Olympian mothers. Recognizing the under-resourced and underfunded experiences of women athletes during family planning and motherhood, a group of equity-seeking Olympians have founded MOMentum, an online platform providing comprehensive resources and support for athletes navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, egg freezing, IVF, carding policy updates, and legal assistance. This initiative aims to normalize women’s health conversations, empower athletes with peer-to-peer connections, and advocate for equitable support across the board. By raising funds for grants, MOMentum aims to alleviate financial barriers and support athletes in balancing their athletic endeavors with their roles as mothers.
